This is the name for the eggs laid by frogs.
Seasonal Behaviour:
In spring, frogs wake up from their winter hibernation and head straight to a pond. The female frogs lay their eggs in big, jelly-like clumps called frogspawn. Each little black dot inside the jelly will grow into a tadpole.
💡 Fun Facts
- One big clump of spawn comes from one female frog and can have thousands of eggs in it.
- The jelly protects the eggs and also warms them up by trapping the spring sunshine.
- Frogs will often return to the very same pond they were born in to lay their own eggs.
