The Most Rare Frog In The World

With the exception of the base of the tail, where a few vertebral structures develop to give rise to the urostyle later in life, the tail lacks the completely solid, segmental, skeletal elements of cartilage or bony tissue that are so typical for other vertebrates, although it does contain a notochord
At the end of the tadpole stage, frogs undergo metamorphosis, in which they undergo a transition into the adult form. This metamorphosis last typically only 24 hours and consists of:
- The disappearance of the gill pouch, making the front legs visible.
- The transformation of the jaws into the big jaws of predatory frogs (most tadpoles are scrapers of algae or are filter feeders)
