Da Tadpoles (1 of 2)

Posted by Kathe (Marquette, Michigan, United States) on 20 December 2008 in Animal & Insect.

Originally a semester-long project for Hayley's biology class. Since nobody else wanted to take them home, we now get to (hopefully) raise them to be Northern Leopard Frog adults.

Hayley has finally decided on their names (all Japanese names):
The small one is Ren (on the right), meaning lotus or romance, love - just 'cause it's so darn cute
The medium-sized one is Yasu (below the bigger one), meaning peaceful, peace or level - this tadpole is the most docile
And the biggest one is Michi (the one on top of Yasu, with the lump at the base of its tail), meaning path - appropriately named, since that one is developing faster than the other two
