Question

When frog eggs are laid how many survive?

Answer 1

Females commonly lay 1,000 to 2,000 eggs with males clasping them round the waist in a position to fertilize them. If all tadpoles survived to become adults then there would be a problem of biblical proportions, since 20 lots of spawn or more are laid together at popular breeding sites.

Answer 2

Answer:

In fact, the more the better - only around one in 50 eggs laid will survive to adulthood. This is because they are vulnerable to a host of predators at different life stages
