How many tadpoles make it to frog stage?

The survival rate of tadpoles to frog stage varies widely depending on species and environmental conditions, but generally, only about 1% to 5% of tadpoles survive to adulthood. Factors such as predation, disease, habitat quality, and food availability significantly influence their survival. Additionally, some species produce thousands of eggs to increase the chances that a few will reach maturity. Overall, the journey from tadpole to adult frog is fraught with challenges, leading to high mortality rates.
