Frogs are amphibians, that is animals which spend part of
their lives on land and part in water. They go to water
when it is time to lay eggs. They usually lay a lot of
eggs in the places where there is a pond or a stream.
Frogs, for instance, lay about 20,000 eggs in a mass of
jelly which is called spawn. Like many other amphibians,
frogs go through different stages before they become
adults.
