From a Frog to a ......Frog!

Amazement and wonder from 'Creation' magazine Vol 29 No. 2 by Adrian Bates, LL.B.
'......Never mind about a frog to a prince - doesn't a frog show evolution happening within its own life cycle? From a fish-like tadpole (complete with gills) the 'frog baby' rapidly 'morphs' its way to a brand new lifestyle! The mouth widens, the tail dissolves, the fly-catching 'bungy' tongue develops, nostrils form, and bulging eyes migrate around the head. Lastly, when the lungs mature and four legs have grown, the graduating tadpole celebrates by hopping right out of the water and living on land.

This amazing transformation (metamorphosis) is a lot more than skin deep. Virtually every organ and body system is radically reworked. For instance, the nervous system has to be completely rewired to operate the new or reprogrammed models of eyes, ears, legs, tongue, etc. The same revamp applies to the frog's biochemistry. The hemoglobin in the blood changes, as does the photo-pigment in the eyes, besides a host of other transformations. Even the waste disposal system is altered to suit the creature's new living conditions.

Biologists shake their heads at the mega-complexity of this pond-based 'rebirth'. The frog basking on the lily pad is the surprising result of one tadpole plus a multitude of changes, all occurring in an astounding cascade of precise sequence and order.......'

Yes, when we see the frogs still happily living in the streams and ponds of land we know that all is well with the natural habitats.
