Rana clamitans Latreille. 



Range: Eastern North 

 America. Gulf of Mexico to 

 Hudson Bay. 



Habitat: A solitary species. 

 Like the bullfrog, it lives in 

 swamps, and in our deeper, 

 larger ponds and reservoirs, 

 but the green frog also lives 

 in smaller ponds and pools. 

 In fact, along water courses 

 there is hardly a small pond 

 which cannot claim a green 

 frog. Hibernates in the water. 



Size: Adults, 2-4 inches. 

 Smaller in the south. (Males, 

 52-72 mm. in the south, and 

 reaching 95 mm. in the north. 

 Females, 58-75 mm. in the 

 south, reaching 100 mm. in 

 the north.). 



General appearance: This is 

 a yellow-throated bullfrog. 

 In the north the green frog is 

 one of our largest frogs. It 

 has a prominent dorsolateral 

 fold with a branch extending 

 almost at right angles down- 

 ward behind the tympanum 

 which is large and con- 

 . spicuous. The general color is
