froglet

Definition

A froglet is a young frog that has just undergone a metamorphosis and is transitioning from living in water to living on land. Froglets have most of the features of an adult frog, but they are still small and have not yet developed all of their adult characteristics.

Froglets have smooth, moist skin, long back legs, and a long tongue. They can breathe air and eat insects. Froglets typically live in shallow water or near water, and they often hide under leaves or other objects.

As froglets grow, they will develop larger back legs, lose their tails, and become more independent. They will also start to develop the bright colours that are often seen in adult frogs.
