Toads begin life as tadpoles after hatching from eggs.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

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.
