After spending 1-3 weeks eating the yolk of their egg, the baby frog hatches. Now, the baby frogs are known as tadpoles. They have gills, a mouth, and a long tail, which they need for swimming!

At this stage, the froglet begins to resemble an adult frog much more closely. The front and back legs will have fully formed, and the tail will begin to shorten. It also developed lungs. So, young frogs can dip in and out of the water as and when they please.
