Green frog tadpole
Green frog tadpole. This tadpole of the green frog (rana clamitans) is at the two legged stage of metamorphosis. Eventually the front legs will develop and break through the operculum (the flap covering the gills) and the tail will be absorbed by phagocytic cells in the blood

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing transformation of a green frog tadpole. At this stage, the tadpole has reached the two-legged phase of metamorphosis, showcasing nature's incredible developmental process. As it continues to grow, its front legs will gradually develop and emerge through the operculum - the flap covering its gills. Simultaneously, phagocytic cells in its blood will absorb its tail, marking a crucial milestone in its journey towards adulthood. The image beautifully showcases this delicate creature against a pristine white background, allowing us to focus solely on its remarkable features. Its vibrant green hue reflects both its natural habitat and species name: Rana clamitans or Green Frog. Found abundantly across North America, particularly in Vermont and other parts of the United States, these amphibians are an integral part of our diverse wildlife. Through this photograph by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into the intricate biology behind metamorphosis while appreciating the beauty found within each stage of life cycle. This single snapshot encapsulates not only scientific significance but also highlights the wonders that exist within our natural world.
