Question

Why do tadpoles lose their tails when they grow up?

Answer 1

The tadpoles turn into Froglets. The body shrinks and legs form. The Froglet's tail shrinks, the lungs develop and the back legs grow and then we have a Frog. Amphibians must shed their skin as they grow.

Answer 2

Answer:

Both tadpoles and mosquito larvae are vegetarians with tadpoles biting off algae and such with their mouths, while larvae feed by “swimming” in circles using mouth brushes to capture tiny food particles. Tadpoles are always MUCH larger than larvae.
