Green Frog Tadpole - Gulping Air This behavior is a great adaptation and is also very cute. As the tadpoles develop and get close to developing legs, they no longer simply breathe with gills, but they also start surfacing to breathe air. In the photo, you can see its tiny mouth wide open as it gulps in air.<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/60550/green_frog_tadpole.html" title="Green Frog Tadpole"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/60550_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=2AZD1kzjQ0x%2BqiYVe6XBYMuO6bk%3D" width="200" height="152" alt="Green Frog Tadpole This pond had hundreds of green frog tadpoles!<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/60552/green_frog_tadpoles.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/60553/green_frog_tadpole_-_gulping_air.html<br /> https://vimeo.com/271935926 Geotagged,Green Frog Tadpole,Green frog,Lithobates clamitans,Spring,United States,green frog,tadpole" /></a></figure><br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/60552/green_frog_tadpoles.html" title="Green Frog Tadpoles"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/60552_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=JnSo5%2F60aoDOpj5%2BiD5ox8hsxLs%3D" width="200" height="162" alt="Green Frog Tadpoles Tons of tadpoles in this pond!
