Young frog at 10 weeks
Young frog at 10 weeks. Tadpole of the common frog (Rana temporaria) in its two leg stage of development. The back legs have developed, but the tail is still the primary means of locomotion.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting journey of a young frog at 10 weeks old. In its two leg stage of development, this tadpole from the common frog species, Rana temporaria, showcases the remarkable transformation it undergoes. While its back legs have already developed, allowing for limited mobility in water, the tail remains its primary means of locomotion. Observe closely and you'll notice that beneath the operculum or gill flap lies another hidden surprise - fully formed forelegs waiting to emerge when this little amphibian reaches about 12 weeks old. This image beautifully illustrates nature's meticulous process of metamorphosis. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of an aquatic tank, this photograph highlights both the delicate beauty and resilience found in our natural world. The vibrant colors and intricate details showcase not only the wonder of this particular creature but also serve as a reminder of the diverse fauna that inhabits our planet. As we witness this tiny being navigating through freshwater with grace and determination, we are reminded once again of life's extraordinary ability to adapt and evolve. This single snapshot encapsulates a moment in time where biology unfolds before our eyes; it is an invitation to marvel at the wonders that lie within our own ecosystems.
