The green frog is an amphibian that relies on the pond ecosystem for food, shelter, and a breeding ground. The green frog can be found in Eastern North America in shallow fresh water ponds, lakes, brooks, and swamps. The green frog is greenish-brown with some spotting and striped bars along the legs, and is sometimes mistaken for a bullfrog. The green frog will not stray far from its water habitat because it provides adequate protection from predators. The frog has a raspy voice whose sounds is repeatedly rapidly, but if caught it will rarely vocalize. The green frog will eat any animal that it can fit into its mouth, mostly consuming insects. The mating season for green frogs will peak in June and hatching typically occurs within three to six days, leaving time to find a suitable spot for hibernation during the winter. Evidence shows that the green frog population is adapting to degraded landscapes and human developmental interference allowing their species to continually increase.
