Last spring on a warm day I was snorkeling in a lake in Germany and was able to film the fascinating underwater world of tadpoles.
It is likely that it's tadpoles of a fiew different species. It could be larvae of at least these three species: the European common toad (Bufo bufo), European grass frog (Rana temporaria) and agile frog (Rana dalmatina), as these are quite common in this region and have had already spawned at this time.



Im letzten Frühling habe ich in einem See geschnorchelt und konnte so die faszinierende Unterwasserwelt der Kaulquappen filmen.
Es handelt sich hierbei vermutlich um Kaulquappen von mehreren verschiedenen Arten, es könnte sich um Larven von Erdkröte (Bufo bufo), Grasfrosch (Rana temporaria) und Springfrosch (Rana dalmatina) handeln, diese kommen recht häufig in diesem Gebiet vor und hatten zu dieser Zeit schon abgelaicht.
