It’s OK everyone, I’ve found all the tadpoles.

There are now at least five or six #tadpole - turned - #frog s in the #paludarium (no adult salamanders on land yet, though), and more every day... They're soooo tiny that I'm afraid to feed them fruitflies yet, so I've just been adding springtails and catching ants outside it's so much easier to feed them when they're tadpoles content with water plants and detritus, heh.

Rife with life
The pond has tadpoles and this one seems to have sprouted its tiny legs...

A bit hard to see, but I saw a tadpole today that has sprouted little leggies. Frog time soon.

Ooit aan #astrofotografie willen doen? Een van onze lezers deelde met ons zijn verhaal, gebruikte apparatuur, opstelling en prachtige foto van de #Tadpole-nevel: https://scientias.nl/bewonder-deze-schitterende-foto-van-de-tadpole-nevel-en-maak-kennis-met-de-fotograaf/

#Sharpless 236, also known as IC 410 or the #Tadpole #Nebula, is an #emissionnebula located in the constellation #Auriga, approximately 2185 light-years away from #Earth, reaching its annual culmination at astronomical midnight mid. December.

What if we could get cane toads to destroy themselves? Find out how… https://ausgeo.co/peterpantadpoles

Researchers from Macquarie University have discovered that cane toad tadpoles are "enthusiastic cannibals" of cane toad eggs, and can wipe out entire clutches in waterbodies where they're released.

But what about when these tadpoles turn into toads and start breeding? Well, there is a solution for that too – and it is inspired by Peter Pan.

The local pond is filled with tadpoles like multiple hundreds. Think my town might be invaded by the frog army soon! #nature #wildlife #frog #tadpole #scotland

We’ve sprouted tiny little leggies!!

Various stages of development of Western Toads (Anaxyrus boreas) at Frog Lake, Mt. Hood National Forest, Oregon. (Well, at least the first three are. The final picture may be a different frog or toad; I am terrible at telling the difference when they are in that stage.)

There were hundreds of these little toads hoping around in the mud and shallow water around the lake! They were so fun to watch.

Hotter springs and summers mean that ponds dry out faster, so what effect might this have on tadpoles and the frogs they develop into? Michel Ohmer & co found that tadpoles developing in drying ponds are smaller when they lose their tails and can't leap as far when adult
