This a picture of some wood frog tadpoles getting schooled in some facts of their life.
You see, their schoolmaster is a red-spotted newt and although they may not know it, what they are facing is a carnivorous salamander.No wonder that wood frogs lay so many eggs.
I'll post some more updates on the vernal pools in the near future. Here is a link to some of my other posts on vernal pools.
Ahhh so newts and salamanders are the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your vernal pool updates.
