adult frog
Mature pond croaker
An adult frog is a frog that has completed metamorphosis—developed legs, absorbed its tail, and transitioned from aquatic tadpole to air-breathing amphibian.
The term appears in biology education and wildlife contexts to distinguish the mature form from earlier life stages: Adult frogs return to ponds to breed each spring.
