Is it possible for a frog to have a baby without it being a tadpole firsT?

Question

i had three frogs and all of the sudden theres a baby frog

they're your ordinanry green tree frogs

and i have to change the water everyday so i cant see how that happened

Answer 1

Sorry, but tadpoles must come first.

Answer 2

Excuse my screaming, but the answer is YES YES YES in a weird way.  Let me explain.

exact answer, all frogs are a 'form' of tadpole before they are a frog.

can frogs be born out of an egg as a tadpole, YES

can frogs be born already fully formed?  YES!!!!!!!!!

there are many types of frogs in the world that actually give birth to baby frogs.

there is a frog or actually a toad (there is a difference) that i know of that 'give birth' to fully developed frogs. it is called the Surinam Toad.

these 'frogs' are never in a tadpole stage, but a stage that is similar to the tadpole.  they live inside the mother until they are full grown frogs, then she gives birth out of her BACK!

yes you heard it right,

she carries her eggs, then they grow, and holes open on here back and they emerge.

Of course, i know you wont believe me, so heres a youtube video showing it in action.

after you watch the video, you may be a little disturbed, but dont worry, it's normal.

there are also many other frogs and toads that do this.  so the answer to your question is YES, and many many people in the world will tell you no.  but it is yes.  now you have an answer, and you have proof.

enjoy!

Answer 3

Felicia, sorry but the answer is a BIG NO. Try to see as human beings, like the BABY. They all undergo a process before achieving the final form from fertilization until the pregnant women give birth to her child. It's just like the frog they all undergo to the process.
