That frogs have good hearing is indicated by the calls and croaks they use to communicate, especially when breeding. This Cuban Tree Frog has rounded, sticky pads on its digits, which help it grip leaves and twigs.
Adults spend all their time in trees, leaving only to lay their eggs in a pond.
Frog tadpoles are now fewer in number, many of their siblings have been eaten by fish,newts,diving beetles,and dragonfly nymphs. They have their back legs,which appear after about seven weeks. By now, frog tadpoles have grown their front legs and lost their tails,to resemble their parents. In midsummer they leave the pond for life on the land.
