Frequently asked questions for a tadpologist
What's the difference between a frog and a toad?
It depends whether you go by the skin or by the family tree, and the answer says a lot about how we put names on nature.
Do all frogs have tadpoles?
No! Fewer than half of all frogs follow the pond life cycle from the textbook. Read on for frogs that skip the tadpole, give birth to live young, or raise their tadpoles in some very strange places.
What are the biggest tadpoles?
Meet the paradoxical frog, whose tadpoles are three or four times longer than the adults, and Goliath, a 10-inch bullfrog tadpole that never turned into a frog.
