Inside the pouch, the tadpoles live on the yolk leftover from their hatching. |
Axillary amplexus typically results in long strings of eggs being laid in ponds or streams, which hatch into type IV tadpoles. |
In Rhinoderma darwinii, males retain the tadpoles in their vocal sacs until the young metamorphose. |
The average masses of the small bullfrogs and green frogs were determined by weighing 60 haphazardly chosen tadpoles from the populations used. |
These amphibians, like modern frogs and salamanders, hatched from eggs and spent their larval period in the water as tadpoles. |
For example anuran tadpoles cannot disperse from their natal pond during development. |
