Rearing of the tadpoles of the frog, Rana breviceps , in solutions containing 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 and 15 IU/ml vitamin A palmitate resulted in reduction or complete disappearance of the keratinized epidermal materia
After the tadpoles develop into young toads, they leave the nest to hunt on their own. Their lifespan is 3-5 years in captivity, while their lifespan in the wild is unknown. Population These toads are known to have a wide habitat range with groups of small populations throughout. While ...

All toads start out as tadpoles that hatch out of eggs. They look a lot like fish with wiggly, little tails. As they get bigger, their legs and lungs begin to grow and their tails start to disappear, but can still be seen. Become a member to unlock this lesson Create an account ...
Although spring peeper and toad tadpole abundances were strongly correlated on some sample dates, the range of abundance of the toad tadpoles is three times that of the spring peeper’s while the peeper’s variance is nearly twice as high, but the slopes are identical. Thus, the spatial ...
The tadpoles grow into fully formed toads in 45 days or less. At that point, they begin to eat worms, insects, and snails. Sometimes a young toad is called a toadlet. The fire-bellied toad lives longer than many other types of toads. In the wild they usually live from 12 to 15 ...
Release of the in-vitro fertilized tadpoles into the wild Tadpoles generated from these experiments were provided to U.S. Fish and Wildlife service biologists in Cheyenne Wyoming after three weeks of care at the Memphis Zoo and released into the wild as part of the Wyoming toad recovery plan....
glands to stimulate secretion of CORT and TH, respectively. Thus, because treatment with exogenous TH and CORT is known to accelerate metamorphosis in frogs, marked elevation of endogenous TH and CORT levels explains at least in part the developmental acceleration of tadpoles exposed to pond drying...
yeae by having wide fringes on toes (vs. narrow); dorsal surface shagreened with fine tubercles (vs. relatively smooth with fine tiny granules or short ridges); and males with a pair of subgular internal vocal sacs (vs. internal single subgular vocal sac). Tadpoles (in mm). Description...
In response to variable environments, wood frog tadpoles change their development and behavior in ways that improve their survival. Tail shape is one example of this developmental flexibility. When faced with predatory insects, tadpoles develop deep tail
