Young frog at 8 weeks
Young frog at 8 weeks. Tadpole of the common frog (Rana temporaria) in its two leg stage of development. The back legs are developing, but the tail is still the primary means of locomotion. The forelegs are also developing but will remain hidden beneath the operculum (gill flap) until the tadpole is about 12 weeks old

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the incredible journey of a young frog at 8 weeks old. In its two-legged stage of development, this tadpole of the common frog (Rana temporaria) showcases nature's remarkable transformation. While its back legs are visibly developing, the tail remains the primary means of locomotion for this little amphibian. As we observe this tiny creature swimming gracefully in a freshwater tank, it is evident that every detail contributes to its growth and survival. The forelegs are also undergoing development but remain hidden beneath the operculum or gill flap until the tadpole reaches approximately 12 weeks old. This single snapshot encapsulates not only the beauty of wildlife but also highlights the wonders of developmental biology and herpetology. It serves as a reminder that even in their infancy, these creatures possess an innate ability to adapt and change. The image provides us with a glimpse into the world of juvenile frogs, showcasing their delicate features and unique metamorphosis process. Through this photograph from Science Photo Library, we can appreciate both the fragility and resilience found within our natural environment – where each organism plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance.
