INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that toads begin life as tadpoles after hatching from eggs?
Unclear. One natural-history source says most toads lay eggs in water that hatch into tadpoles, and a federal listing notes Dixie Valley toad tadpoles hatch shortly after eggs are deposited; other items cover frogs or tadpole behaviour rather than the general toad egg-to-tadpole sequence.
