In April, when winter turns into spring and ponds lose their ice covers, frogs begin leaping towards their home pools. The season of reproduction has begun.

Most often, people will notice frog reproduction only after their spawning has already taken place. Frogs spawn during the night in shallow waters, such as ditches or small ponds. The reproductive cycle of frogs may take only a few days. After reproducing, frogs begin their journey back to their home forests, where they begin their preparations for the coming winter.

Frogs reproduce in the water and juvenile frogs develop into adult frogs in the water. However, frogs have also adapted to the life on dry land. They have feet that they can walk with, and lungs that they use to breathe while on the ground.
