Fat Tadpole with Back Legs

Here's a shot of the very first of my tadpoles to get legs. As you can see he is quite proud of them. Look closely and you can see little bumps on his sides where the front legs will pop out. I'm especially fascinated by this type of tadpole. I scooped their eggs from the pond a couple weeks later than the others.  They are very small in comparison to the other tadpoles, yet their development is faster. I call them the Wide Eyes. Their fat little bellies are almost transparent.  Doesn't he look cute?
