Tadpoles and frogs

young tadpoles - the audio is the sound of their parents mating (I think)

Yep, that's the sound of frogs mating (recorded a few weeks earlier at the same pond)

i am dying to know how you got this film, i have had tadpoles in my pool for 2 yrs. now and would love video like this!!!! whats your secret? thanks

[plort]

No secret - I used an underwater camera (Pentax Optio WPi). I turned it on, then put it in the water at the edge of the pond and just let it go for about 10 minutes.

it really is cool and as mrmojo says relaxing to watch and hear... do you know what kind of frogs they are, im in ca. and mine are pacific tree frogs but they just croak you can hear them on my video froggy nights...

[plort]

I believe the frog-sounds are tree frogs (we're in the northeast - so perhaps not Pacific?) - the tadpoles are toads.

Very nice and beautiful, i had a good experiance today alsot with tadpoles and i was lucky to have my camera with me and i posted it in here uncer The Tad pole .

Is the camera in an empty aquarium weighted down for filming?

@plort Actually, these are male frogs singing to attract mates. They are not actually mating at this point.
