Title The Double Life of the Frog Introduction Although the frog is a common animal in many parts of the country, scientists note it’s rather uncommon to life cycle. The word “amphibian,” generally used to characterize frogs, literally means “having two lives,” although, of course, the frog lives only once. Thesis statement But that one life is divided into two separate distinct phases, the first one of which is with two subtopics spent underwater and the second, primarily on land. Body During the initial stage of a frog’s life, it is not really a frog at all, but rather a tadpole paragraph 1 or pollywog. When such a tadpole hatches from an underwear jellylike mass of eggs, it (develops very much resembles a fish in outward appearance, with a vertical tail and with gills on subtopic 1) sides of its little head.
The land get about 12 inches of rain per year. What this frog does, is it soaks up the water into its body, so 50 percent of it body weight is just water. After the frog soaks in the water it uses it hind legs to burrow itself 3 feet into the soggy mud. What it does, is it creates a burial chamber. While in the chamber, the water causes the frog to shed its whole skin.
Frog Defence Mechanisms Research into several frog species has produced evidence that although frog’s possess the same general characteristics, many different species have developed their own unique methods of defence and escaping predation. Some species of frog have discovered that one of the best forms of defence is simply to hide. Many frogs have developed a great number of different disguises to escape the sight of potential predators. For example the Mossy frog (Rana septentrionalis- Fig. 2.7) – is covered in small bumps and spines, (Raxworthy, 2007), which along with it’s brown/green colouration allows it to blend perfectly into it’s mossy surroundings.
Shubin shows how fin structures of fish like Tiktaalik mark the beginning of the evolution into the mammalian paw and opposable thumb structures in the hands of today’s primates. The significance behind Tiktaalik is how it proved to be the missing link which greatly shows the transition from fish who swim, to four-legged vertebrates. Neil also states that all creatures in the world are built similarly to one another. Creatures such as whales, birds, and humans have single arm bones that each lead to two others, that connect to fingers or our toes. In us humans, this shows up in the humorous, and they go through the radius and ulna into our wrist bones and fingers.
At the start of “Bullfrog” the speaker is reflecting youth and this is symbolised through Hughes’ anthropomorphic application to the strength of the frog’s legs “To thump upon double-bass strings” (Muldoon, 1997, p42), frogs don’t play the double bass so this metaphor alludes to the strength of youth. “This sort of comparison is properly called anthropomorphism, where human attributes are ascribed to something inhuman” (Brown, R D, Reputations (2014), p 44). Both poets also use simile as a device to represent frogs in terms of emotions. “A simile is a formal comparison which uses words such as “like” or “as” to connect one thing with another” (Brown, R D, Tradition and Dissent (2014), p 44).

The wall of a jellyfish body is very fragile. Their bodies are much different then that of most animals. They have no brain, no respiratory system, and no circulatory system. The average length of a jellyfish tentacle is one to ten meters long. The tentacles of a jellyfish in some cases can grow to a massive length of 100 feet!
Communication begins to take on a more mature rhythm at 11 months. Babies at this age can engage in a regular back-and-forth conversation. The elder children in our daycare started their morning circle time around 9:30am while Lukas just finished his first formula bottle and he was crawling around the room and exploring new toys. Lukas was very happy and active in the playroom. He can sit up without support and pull himself up around the train table.
Due to a growing interest in infants’ ability to perceive the surrounding world in the early 20th century various research studies and experiments aiming to observe and investigate newborns’ nature were conducted. One of the first to engage in newborns’ observational studies was Bower (1965) who found they are capable of perceiving depth cues at the age of 3 months. What he did was to present babies with a cube in a distance of one meter and examine whether they would suck a pacifier while viewing the cube. After a couple of trials, infants realized that every time they suck the pacifier when the cube was shown they will be rewarded. Although cubes of different sizes and larger distances were used to test the babies, a relatively little sucking was produced by them, which suggests the hypothesis that infants may have prior knowledge of depth and size constancy.
