The mud game


It's difficult to see but there's an Ant on the newly formed Amphibian. I waited in anticipation to see if it's hunting skills were finaly tuned but the Frog let this opportunity pass. Tadpoles develop hindlimbs first then forelimbs as it's tail recedes and gills are replaced by lungs. The transformation from aquatic life to terrestrial life is truly amazing.
