Great Basin Spadefoot Tadpole
Spea intermontana (tadpole)
This tadpole lives in warm, shallow temporary pools across the Great Basin. It grazes algae, detritus, and tiny aquatic organisms while swimming constantly through the water. Its rapid growth and development help it transform before its rain-filled pool dries.
