Last week our students were very curious as to why Jade isn't changing into a frog. We visited a website called http://www.bullfrogs.com/Bullfrog-Tadpoles.html
We discovered a few facts which may solve Jade's Mystery!
1. The Bullfrog tadpole has an arrowhead-shaped body with a dorsal fin that actually begins behind its body. Tadpoles are actually quite large.
2. Bullfrog tadpoles have speckled-brown skin.
3. A Bullfrog tadpole has the ability to re-grow its tail if it loses it to a predator or by some other means.
4. Bullfrog tadpoles can remain in the same state for as long as one to two years before they actually become adult frogs!
5. Once the tadpole matures into an adult Bullfrog, it will be one of the largest frogs in the world, a carnivorous predator that will eat just about anything it can fit into its mouth!
Well even thought Jade is a bullfrog Pin is ssssoooooooo not.
