clonk Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Hey all, I'm hoping that some of the Neowin community is knowledgable on amphibians, because this morning I noticed this frog by the side of my pool, and upon inspecting a reference guide I have to North American Amphibians, I was not able to positively identify him. To me, he most closely resembled a Green Frog, but I am not sure this is his identity. I've attached the picture. Any help you offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

insanekiwi Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 i think i found it: http://www.biokids.umich.edu/resources/j_h...4.jpg/view.html Green Frog aka "Rana clamitans" EDIT: here are specific links about the Green Frog http://www.inhs.uiuc.edu/cbd/herpdist/spec...ra_clamita.html http://museum.nhm.uga.edu/gawildlife/amphi...rclamitans.html http://www.leaps.ms/rana_clamitans.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonk Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 I am sorry I didn't make this clear, but I took the picture, do you notice the date on that :) Yes I came to the conclusion of the Green Frog as well, but my frog here looks a little different enough to make me question it. I am going with Green Frog though until I can find a better explanation for him. Maybe he is an undocumented species? :) By the way, thanks for the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
