toadschooled:Here we see a tadpole specimen of the New Mexico spadefoot toad [Spea multiplicata], briefly placed in a holding container for photographs by wildlife ecologistAndrew DuBois. This desert dwelling species takes advantage of temporary pools in order to breed, and as such has a number of unique adaptations to ensure the survival of their offspring. Not only do their eggs hatch in 48 hours, but their tadpoles develop into toadlets in as little as 12 days. -- source link
