Frogs and toads mainly live animals such as eat small
insects. They are a very important part of the worlds
eco-system. They are the vital link in the food change
between insects and other predators.
Tadpoles mostly eat plants but are not solely vegetation
feeders. Many are vegetarian in the early stages but
become more carnivorous towards theend of this cycle.
Bufo nebulifer tadpoles have been known to consume a
full earthworm in about an hour.
The African bullfrog, horned frog, and budgetts frog
tadpoles are all highly cannibalistic, voracious enough
to overtake weaker or smaller siblings
The frog can fit in alot in to fis mouth and can have
a huge appitite. There tongue is folded in floor of
mouth, attached lower jaw rather than back, for max
range. The top of the tongue is sticky and it flips
it's tongue at its target. the prey sticks and then
pulled into the mouth. This is a very fast action lasting
milliseconds. the frog will then contract eye muscles
to help swallowing.
