How do frogs eat? From tadpoles to adult frogs
If you were a frog, what kind of frog would you be? Well, probably a hungry frog.
Frogs start off as tadpoles, eating mostly leafy greens and algae. Eventually they step it up and begin to eat insects and other easy prey. By the time they reach adult status, frogs are stricting carnivores.
As adult frogs, the hunt becomes a but more involved. Frogs sit silently and motionlessly, waiting for their prey to come within range. Then...BAM. They use their sticky tongues to very quickly snatch prey.
The frog then winds its tongue back up and eats the catch. One interesting fact about frogs is that their tongues are attached in the front of their mouth instead of the back. Kinds cool!
