  1. rana temporaria

    The common frog or grass frog (Rana temporaria), also known as the European common frog, European common brown frog, European grass frog, European Holarctic true frog, European pond frog or European brown frog, is a semi-aquatic amphibian of the family Ranidae, found throughout much of Europe as far north as Scandinavia and as far east as the Urals, except for most of Iberia, Southern Italy, and the southern Balkans. The farthest west it can be found is Ireland. It is also found in Asia, and eastward to Japan. The nominative, and most common, subspecies Rana temporaria temporaria is a largely terrestrial frog native to Europe. It is distributed throughout northern Europe and can be found in Ireland, the Isle of Lewis and as far east as Japan.Common frogs metamorphose through three distinct developmental life stages — aquatic larva, terrestrial juvenile, and adult. They have corpulent bodies with a rounded snout, webbed feet and long hind legs adapted for swimming in water and hopping on land. Common frogs are often confused with the common toad (Bufo bufo), but frogs can easily be distinguished as they have longer legs, hop, and have a moist skin, whereas toads crawl and have a dry 'warty' skin. The spawn of the two species also differs in that frogspawn is laid in clumps and toadspawn is laid in long strings. There are 3 subspecies of the common frog, R. t. temporaria, R. t. honnorati and R. t. palvipalmata. R. t. temporaria is the most common subspecies of this frog.

    Rana Temporaria, also known as the common frog or European common frog, is a semi-aquatic amphibian of the family Ranidae, found throughout much of Europe. It is characterized by its smooth skin, long hind legs, shorter front legs, webbed feet, and bulging eyes. These frogs are highly variable in color, ranging from green to brown, grey, or yellow. They generally live in damp habitats, including meadows, gardens, and forests, and breed in shallow bodies of water. In winter they hibernate in mud at the bottom of ponds or in leaf piles. Their diet primarily consists of insects, worms, and slugs. The term "Rana Temporaria" refers to the species as a whole.
