The picture illustrates different stages in the life cycle of a frog.

It clearly shows that there are six distinct stages in the development of a frog, beginning with
the matting between male and female frogs and ending with the appearance of mature adult
frogs.

At the first stage in the life cycle of a frog/the life cycle of a frog begins when, a couple of
female and male frogs mate together, then the female one lays a number of frogspawns which
are located in a particular place in the water. At the stage three, each frogspawn hatches and the
immature tadpole emerges.

At the fourth stage of the life cycle, the small tadpole grows remarkably with the appearance of
two legs and a long tail. Following that the tadpole continues to develop into a young frog
which has two additional legs but the tail is shorter. Next, as the young frog emerges, its body

develops in size, and it has no tail and the mature frog is ready to leave the water and become an
adult frog.
