• Frogs stay where it is damp. Frogs have webbed
  feet. When it is winter the frog goes to the end
  of the water and makes a hole. The eggs are in
  jelly. The jelly around the egg swells, and the
  frogs spawn rises to the surface of the
  water.There the eggs grow until they are ready to
  hatch into tiny tadpoles.

• The tadpoles have tails, and gills behind their
  head for breathing in air. As the tadpole turns
  into a froglet, the tail gets shorter and
  shorter. Then it becomes a frog. The smallest
  frog is one centimeter long. Glass frogs are hard
  to see on green leaves.

• The common frog lives in damp places. Many
  tadpoles are eaten by giant water beetles, water
  scorpions and other creatures. Young frogs take
  three years to become fully grown then they can
  start breeding themselves.

• Frogs eat among other things earthworms. Frogs
  are eaten by grass snakes, rats, otters, herons,
  large fish and hedgehogs.
