I’m trying to pin down identification for the large tadpoles in the first four photos. They are new to my ponds and apparently someone snuck into my nursery and abandoned their babies. I am familiar with my local armies of Cope’s Grey tree frogs and squirrel tree frogs.
I have heard the calls of Eastern narrow-mouthed toads in my “mini yard swamp”, among other toads.
The last two photos are Cope’s GTF tadpoles/metamorphs with extreme color variation for reference (colors developed differently based on the color of habitat buckets, cool huh?).
The last photo is the newest clutch collected from same puddle as the funny faced tads.
iNaturalist and other searches give me answers all over the place to the point I of further confusion. Can anyone help me out please and thank you? 😊🐸❤️
