Budding naturalists will be transfixed by this unprecedented peek into the secrets of tadpole transformation.

One embryo wiggles .
It wriggles.
It jiggles about .
A tiny tadpole slides out , free of the jelly .
It has no mouth.
It has no eyes .
It cannot even swim .
It waits on top of the coiled jelly string .
Its brothers and sisters by the thousands
struggle loose from their eggs .

What a dierence four days make !
Now the tadpole has eyes for seeing .
It has a big tail for swimming .
It has a mouth for munching
morsels of rotting leaves .
And for breathing ?
Feathery gills,
those little frills behind the head ,
pull oxygen from the water .

Skin has grown over the graceful gills.
Water ows into the mouth,
over the gills,
and spews out a hole in the skin
called the spiracle .
Now the tadpole is fat and round in front ,
with a long skinny tail behind .
It has the familiar tadpole shape .
