amphibian development

Amphibian development involves a fascinating transformation process. It begins with eggs laid in water, which hatch into tadpoles, small aquatic creatures with gills for breathing. As they grow, tadpoles undergo metamorphosis, gradually developing legs and lungs, losing their tails, and transitioning to a more complex body structure. This change allows them to adapt from an aquatic environment to living on land as adults, such as frogs or salamanders. Amphibians are unique because they often return to water to reproduce, completing their life cycle between two habitats.
