What's happening to their tails?


Whilst clearing out plant overgrowths I noticed that a few of the tadpoles seemed to have shorter tails.
It almost looks as though they have had the last few millimetres bitten off. They don't swim with quite the same fluidity as those with standard tails.
I don't know if this is a normal variation of if something more sinister is at work.
