#101: Look for Tadpoles

Tadpoles are baby frogs. They have front legs and a long tail. They may also be starting to grow their back legs--making them a bit funny looking. When baby frogs are still in the tadpole stage, they can't breathe above water like an adult frog can. They also are very good at hiding.



Safety First: Play safe around water. It is cold this time of year. As well, the banks/shores of ponds may be slippery. Take an adult with you.
