Frogs and Toads - Order Anura
Frogs and toads (Order Anura) are the most widespread and diverse of amphibian orders. Most adult frog and toads are distinguised from other amphibians in that they lack a tail.
The Life Cycle of a Frog
The life cycle of a frog consists of three stages: egg, larva, and adult. As the frog grows it moves through these stages in a process known as metamorphosis.

The Life Cycle of a Frog
All amphibians (frogs, toads, cacilians, newts, and salamanders) undergo a process of change throughout their lives know as metamorphosis. This transformation, from egg to larva and finally to adult, is most dramatic in frogs and toads. In this article, we'll explore each of these stages throughout the life cycle of a frog.

Tree Frog Embryos Delay Hatching, Risk Asphyxiation
Scientists from Boston University have discovered that the embryos of red-eyed tree frogs (Agalychnis callidryas) use up most of the oxygen within their eggs before they hatch.

Yellow Tree Frog Eggs Fit for Land or Water
Scientists from Boston University have discovered that the yellow tree frog (Dendropsophus ebraccatus), a native to Panama and other regions throughout Central America, is able to lay its eggs on land or in water.
