The frog is an excellent animal. The frog is really cool because of it’s life cycle, adaptations, and habitats. The frog is complex and this makes it interesting. The most important thing to know in this paper is the life cycle since it is where the frog begins.

The frog is an amphibian. This means the frog lives two lives, one on land and one in the water. First, the eggs are laid. The egg goes through a smaller process for the tadpole to develop in the egg. Then, the eggs are fertilized. Next, the eggs go through cleavage. Frogs have 8-cell stage eggs (Biology-pages). The mom and dad frog either leave their eggs or the mother will stay behind and guard the eggs (Water Policy, 2012). Then, the eggs hatch. Then the tadpole starts to eat. The tadpoles have to make sure that they don’t get eaten. By the way they do this is by clinging to stalks of alge. They start to grow back legs. Then, they grow front legs. By now, they are young adults. After about 2-3 years the frog is ready to mate. …show more content…

The frog has a small, compact structure that includes strong quick legs, and large eyes. The frog has a powerful jump. Most of the bones in the frog's body is in its legs. This enables the frog to jump far and move out of the way of its predators quickly. Some frogs can jump over 20 times their own body length; that is like a human jumping 30m. Human bones are spread out throughout the body, but frog’s are close together. Frogs can come in many colors. Some frogs can change colors like a chameleon. Camouflage helps the frog hide from predators. Also, it has an unique shape. The frog can sit upright. The upright shape of the frog allows it to sit up out of the water and breathe. Frogs are able to sit up on rocks and trees. They can leap and swim. This is

The life cycle of the horned lizard is common to many retiles. Mating begins in late April peaking in June and stopping in July. The type of horned lizard determines if they lay eggs or have live births. The Texas Horned Lizard normally lays eggs. If they are laid they are buried in the sand a few weeks after fertilization where they require an additional few weeks for development prior to hatching.

Its native range extends from the central and eastern United States up into Southern Canada. But the frogs are now found from Nova Scotia to Central Florida, from the East coast of the U.S. to Wisconsin, across the Great Plains to the Rockies, as far west as California and Mexico, and even places like Hawaii, the Caribbean, South America, Europe and Asia. It appears the species was introduced from its original habitat in North America in the early 1900s in Colorado and California and the introduction appears to have been accidental. Evidence suggests the frogs could have been introduced through trout streams and lakes during the Colorado Divisions of Wildlife fish stocking operations in the early 1900s, as bullfrogs have been known to invade fish hatchery ponds and leave their larvae to be stocked into ponds along with the

Negative stereotypes are damaging because it fits minority groups in a box and deceives people that roles are predetermined and absolute. Negative stereotypes work in two ways. First, it works according to language. There are the words and phrases used to perpetuate negative stereotype, but then, as we can see in the museum’s collection, there is the infiltration of material culture, objects bought and sold, that further communicated anti-black slogans. In effect, what we can see by looking at these images is a mass economy dedicated to keeping alive a very dangerous myth.

The remaining 10% of frogs developed into females who were capable of reproduction. Although the authors’ hypothesis about demasculinization of frogs was right, they were still surprised by the second part of their research which showed that the frogs underwent complete feminization. The author also suggests that further experiments should be conducted to understand why only certain atrazine-exposed male frogs become females and if this particular trait is heritable (Hayes et al,
