We used to start off with 100s of tadpoles in our pond.  I'd watch them 
grow, but mostly I'd watch them getting eaten by the fish.  At the end we 
maybe had 5 or 6 each year that made it to frogs.  One year we tried to take 
out the frogspawn and put it in an aquarium, but something wasn't right 
because none survived.
