A little while later they hatch and out pop tadpoles. They eat for a few weeks and then the back legs form. They eat for a few more weeks then the front legs develop. They eat for a little while longer and then they lose thier tail. Once the tail is gone they look like exact replicas of thier parents just smaller.
Anurans can live almost anywhere.
Except in Antartica and in the Artic circle. The Suriname toad looks like it got run over by a steamroller but even more odd is the way it raises its tadpoles. The eggs are laid in its back and after a while out come baby frogs. There are many species of Chelonians. Some of the most common in the U.S. are the Box Turtle and the Red-Eared Slider.
