Here are the tadpoles, just about 6 weeks on from the arrival of the spawn.
Not yet looking much like froglings
though some of these do seem to have the slightest beginnings of little legs
They're as wiggley as ever, if you can catch them.
And at another extreme of some kind or other - in fact, maybe more than one kind of extreme? - these had just arrived in London yesterday

They are part of London's Elephant Parade - a conservation campaign for endangered Asian elephants. Today I took a break from work and found the 3 elephants which have made their way to Greenwich. They were more fun than what I was working on.

Beautiful elephants. Must go check them out.
Wow...Rhinos in Paris and Ellies in London...These are awsome, how long will they be there??
(See Paris Daily Photo for Rhino...)
I almost forgot the soon-to-be frogs...cute and coming right along...
So many pretty things to see in London. I love the tadpoles. My little girl has a book that explains all about the transition. It is such a sweet book.
Hope you are well? I have been meaning to drop you a line. xJ
I'd have thought they'd develop pretty quickly actually. I get ducklings in spring and they're flying within six weeks! Love the elephants. We had a similar thing here where artists painted cows for a joint country/city schools project. They were just around every corner, a lovely colourful surprise.
O yeah I heard about those elephants on the radio, don't they look amazing!
Tadpoles= v cute.
I once had a dwarf African aquatic frog, the type you keep in a tropical aquarium with the fish. He was really tiny... I would have loved to breed loads of them... but you'd have to take 'em out of the community tank, else I'm sure the fish would have treated them like froggie daphnia...
I regret to say that I can't shed any light on the parentage or dates of birth of either the wiggly taddies or the gorgeous heffalumps, only to say that they are both delightful in their own unique way.
I like everything about this post.
Love the tads. One of them reminds me of my wife when she was very young....
Toronto has had its moose and Munich has its lions. This is definitely an idea that has worked.
It's a sign of spring when you publish your tadpole pics. I am always happy to see the new generation. xx
We have a Cow Parade oop north but I adore elephants so I would enjoy your parade more!
Awwww, love the tadpoles! Definitely little legs are forming...
The elephants are great, too! Bravo for taking the time to go find them!
