k After 6-9 weeks of infancy, it’s time for the tadpoles to sprout their legs out!

k By about 12 weeks, the next step of development is the loss of the tadpole’s tail and becoming a young frog.

k The last step is seen after 12-16 weeks of being a young frog. It is now converted to an adult frog which is a complete meat eater.
