The Green Frog (Lithobates clamitans) is a common amphibian found in North America. It typically inhabits freshwater environments like ponds, lakes, and marshes. This frog is easily recognized by its vibrant green color and distinctive ribbit call, which is often heard during the breeding season.
Green Frogs are medium-sized, usually measuring 3 to 5 inches in length. They have long, powerful legs that make them excellent jumpers. Their diet mainly consists of insects, small invertebrates, and occasionally small fish. The Green Frog plays an important role in its ecosystem by helping control insect populations.
