Synopsis: This is a multi-page image of the four stages of tadpole development, set on two pages. There are locator dots shown, which will be at the top left of each page when the images are the right way up. Each illustration has a scale showing its approximate size. Page 1: This page shows two illustrations of a tadpole with its head to the right of the page and its tail to the left. It is shown from the side so only one eye can be found. At the top of the page the tadpole is at an early stage of development. It still has gills to get its oxygen from the water, one of which can be found just to the left of its eye. At the bottom of the page the tadpole has grown and lost its gills. It has now developed so that it can breathe air through its mouth. Page 2: This page shows two more stages of development of the frog tadpole with its head to the right and tail to the left. At the top of the page the tadpole is viewed from the side with only one eye visible. One of its recently formed back legs can be found along the bottom edge of its body and the little bud of one of the emerging front legs can be found to the left of its mouth. At the bottom of the page the tadpole is seen from above. At the right of the image both of the tadpoles eyes are on view. To the left of this its front legs can be found and further left its back legs and tail. It is beginning to change from its 'fishy' shape to one that is more froglike.
