Eastern Narrow-mouthed Toad Tadpole
Gastrophryne carolinensis (tadpole)
This tadpole develops in shallow, temporary freshwater pools, often among leaf litter and submerged plants. It feeds on algae, detritus, and tiny suspended organic particles while swimming with its muscular tail. A notable feature is its ability to develop quickly before its temporary pool dries up.
