THE FROG LIFE CYCLE : Fun facts about the Life Cycle of a Frog!

 

THE FROG LIFE CYCLE : Fun facts about the Life Cycle of a Frog.

 



A frog you know more that,   is one of the member of a diverse and largely carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order Anura. The oldest fossil "proto-frog" should be  appeared in the early Triassic of Madagascar, but molecular clock dating suggests their origins may extend further back to the Permian, 265 million years ago.

more about fact is During a frog’s metamorphosis, according to the science, an egg will hatch into a tadpole, which will then develop back legs first, then front legs, and become a full grown adult frog! Check out the process below about how a frog develops during its life.  step by step development are like below. 👇👇👇👇👇

Stage 1: Extraordinary eggs


First of all, It all starts with adult frogs laying hundreds of tiny eggs, which clump together in groups known as frogspawn. This happens in early spring, when the weather is just starting to get warmer. Spotting frogspawn is often thought of as being a key sign of spring!



You can hunt for frogspawn in shallow, still water – a garden pond, for example! As the eggs are defenceless, they’re usually laid among vegetation and just below the surface of the water, to give them some protection.

Frog Life cycle

barely If you’re lucky enough to spot some of these strange eggs, pay attention to their shape. Frogs lay ‘frogspawn’, which looks like a round cluster of eggs, while toads lay ‘toadspawn’, which comes in long ribbons.

In the frogspawn, the baby frogs start out as tiny black dots surrounded by a jelly-like substance. Over time, they become comma-shaped, as their tails begin to develop – amazing!

Stage 2: Tadpole


Then a tadpole hatches from an egg. When the tadpole hatches, it looks more like a fish than a frog. A tadpole lives in water. It uses gills to breathe and it has no legs. The tadpole swims, eats plants and algae from the water, and grows for several weeks.





For the first week or two after hatching, tadpoles won’t move around very much, as they’re still absorbing some nutrition from the yolk of their egg. However, once the yolk is all gone, the tadpoles are big and strong enough to venture out into their watery world!

Unlike adult frogs, tadpoles can’t go on land – so they feed on plant material filtered from the water, and tear off tiny chunks of nearby vegetation.


Next, the tadpoles’ tails shrink away, in next 5/6 days and skin grows over their gills, as they get their lungs and eardrums developed ! These are super important steps, as they prepare the tadpole for life on land.

after that their gills and tails are gone forever, tadpoles undergo one last 24-hour push, where the metamorphosis completes. and after complition of this stage is finished, the baby frogs emerge from the water as tiny adults!

Stage 3: Fully-grown frog


The frog’s tail will eventually disappear completely and it will start to eat insects instead of plants from the water. The young frog will grow for about 2-4 years to become an adult. The adult frogs then lay their eggs and more tadpoles hatch and begin the cycle again!



fun facts about frog





1. Frogs are amphibians, which means that they can live in water or on land. They go through several stages of life before they become adult frogs and during those stages, they live only in water.

2. The full growth cycle from egg to frog takes just 14 weeks!

3. There is evidence that frogs have been on Earth for over 200 millions years. That is as long as the dinosaurs roamed the planet!

4. Frogs absorb water through their skin, so they don’t need to drink.

5. There are over 5,000 species of frogs!

  How to add AirPrint to a non-AirPrint printer In todays time, While there are plenty of inexpensive AirPrint-compatible printers out there, you can already invest in a model that does not support Apple’s wireless printing protocol. Fortunately, adding AirPrint to a non-AirPrint printer is very easy, and inexpensive thanks to a simple Mac app called Useful Print. Formerly marketed as AirPrint Activator, which works by rotating a printer connected to your Mac in an AirPrint printer shared across your network. Once configured, you will be able to print wirelessly using the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch – or any other Mac. App over any device. 👉What you need to do??? Because form  this solution it requires your printer to be permanently connected to the computer, it works especially well for users running desktop Macs or MacBooks in ‘clamshell’ mode. In this article, we are working with Samsung ML-1860 series laser printers, but you can use any printer that does not already support AirPrint.

Waterproofing of Flat Terraces and Roofs: How to waterproof a flat terrace

  Waterproofing of Flat Terraces and Roofs: How to waterproof a flat terrace Do you know this technique?? Waterproofing of flat terraces is a main problem in building construction, mainly becauseof  the surfaces are flat. This means that the water cannot run off the structure quickly, and will move slowly or pool above the surface, and that will creating opportunities for leakage. In addition, these flat surfaces require to be completed   or collection pits for the water to flow into before entering the vertical drainage pipes and other sources, which another great source of leaks. It follows that rough terrace surfaces (such as crazy china paving) are not good for waterproofing, as they encourage slow movement or pooling of water. instead of that, Smooth surfaces are better. The more slope you can give to the surface, is the better option from getting rid of leakage.according to the well known opinion,  A slope of 1 in 100 or steeper is recommended  for terraces. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
