The first difference is that a tadpole (after being hatched) has gills because its body has not developed enough muscular structure to survive on land, so it live underwater, the frog however breaths through lungs (mature frogs cannot breath underwater). Second, a tadpole has a tail, while a frog is tailless. Third, a tadpole does not have any legs (until later in life) while a frog has very long hind legs for leaping.
