   How do frogs metamorphosis?

   • Frogs undergo a remarkable metamorphosis during their life cycle. They start as eggs laid in water, which hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles are aquatic creatures with gills and tails. Through metamorphosis, tadpoles develop lungs and legs, transforming into adult frogs that can live both on land and in water.
