During the day, tadpoles form large aggregations that migrate to the warm shallow margins of lakes to accelerate their developmental rate and seek cover under the emergent vegetation. In the evenings they return to deeper waters to complete their daily migration. #BeneathBC | Maxwel Hohn | Facebook

It's toad-ally Spring! Toad mating season is a loud affair. Usually terrestrial, every year American Toads seek out wetlands where they lay long strings of eggs. Look for toads in temporary ponds that are absent of fish (who love to snack on tadpoles)  | Bell Museum | Facebook
