Danny he is getting too big for this
aquarium I can remember when he was just
a tadpole what's a tadpole a baby frog
look I'll show you it starts out as a
little clear egg in the water then the
tadpole hatches from the egg it looks
sort of like a fish it has a tail and
swims underwater oh so that's a baby
frog yeah when a tadpole begins to grow
legs its tail gets shorter and shorter
wow then what happens well pretty soon
the tadpole's tail is gone and it
becomes a frog with big back legs just
right for hopping out of the water and
all around the pond
[Music]

two thank you
plants around the pond are food for some
animals and some animals like beavers
make their homes in a pond how does it
do that oh beavers build a home out of
sticks and mud then they can swim in and
out of their house on the pond what else
lives in a pond well plants like lily
pads make great shape for fish and frogs
sometimes you might even see turtles
setting themselves on a log in the water
I love turtles

animals like a dragonfly for a
grasshopper a pond is a great home to
