Extended data:

Under natural conditions, the total number of female frogs can reach about 5000, and the hatching rate is about 50%, while the survival rate of tadpoles is only 20% ~ 30%. Under the condition of artificial feeding, tadpoles usually hatch for 8 ~15 days after female frogs lay eggs.

The newly hatched tadpoles are brownish yellow, with a body length of 6 ~ 8 mm, horseshoe-shaped suckers on their heads for attachment, and their mouths are located below the suckers, so they are weak and have little activity. They eat through the yolk sac and don't eat with their mouths open.
