Why are frogs said to have 2 lives?

Asked by raelynnrobles2

Answer (2)

Frog are said to have two lives because, THEY BEGIN THEIR LIVES IN WATER IN FORM OF EGGS AND THEN AS TADPOLE, BUT WHEN THEY ARE FULLY DEVELOPED THEY LIVE ON LAND. Thus, they live both on land and in water. Inside the water, the frog eggs hatch and become tadpoles. After some times, the tadpoles develop and become frogs, then they move out of the water and live on the land.

Frogs are said to have two lives because they first live in water as eggs and tadpoles, then undergo metamorphosis to become adult frogs that can live on land. This unique life cycle involves significant changes, allowing them to adapt to both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Essentially, they transition from being fully aquatic to a dual existence in both habitats.
