Green Frog
This beautiful frog was hanging out in a rocky area that had collected water runoff from an adjacent woodland pond. There were at least 15+ other green frogs and salamanders in a small area near the bank of the pond.
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.
The green frog is a species of frog native to the eastern half of the United States and Canada. The two subspecies are the bronze frog and the northern green frog.
