Green Frog

This frog was fairly large - probably 9 cm long. It was floating in a small woodland pond, soaking in the sunshine.

This species is a medium-sized frog. Adult green frogs range from 5–10 cm in length. Mature females are typically larger than males. The male tympanum is twice the diameter of the eye; but, in females, the tympanum is about the same as that of the eye. Also, males have bright yellow throats. The dorsolateral ridges, prominent, seam-like skin folds that run down the sides of the back, distinguish the green frog from the bullfrog, which entirely lacks them.
