Field Notes

Description:

Tadpoles are the larval stage of Anura amphibians, which includes frogs and toads. I found this tadpole in a little pond near my house and brought him home along with another less developed tadpole and put them in a little aquarium.

I'm just watching its development and taking some notes :) It was amazing to see how its forelimbs grew in just one night :D When they turn adults I'm going to release them in their natural habitat :)
