Rana pipiens, commonly known as the northern leopard frog, is a species of frog found primarily in North America. It is recognizable by its distinctive green or brown skin adorned with dark spots, resembling a leopard's coat. These frogs typically inhabit wetlands, grasslands, and marshes, where they thrive in moist environments. Northern leopard frogs are known for their strong jumping ability and vocalizations, especially during the breeding season. They are carnivorous, feeding on insects and other small invertebrates. Their populations are affected by habitat loss and pollution, making conservation efforts important for their survival.
