The behavior of tadpole’s larvae that theygather in clusters so close together that the group looks like a moving football in the water.
Introduction:
Amphibians are vertebrates that lives near or in water. They breathe and intake water through their skin. They also consist a special skin glands for producing proteins.
Explanation of Solution
Amphibians eggs are not amniotic, hence their eggs needs a place where they don’t dry out. The eggs of frogs are laid in water and are covered in a jelly-like substance. This jelly keeps the eggs moist and also protect them from predators.
