Wideangle frog
European common frog (Rana temporaria) - Tyrolean Alps, Austria
A common frog in habitat in the Austrian Alps. A beautiful area to live but full of its own kind of challenges, yet R. temporaria is up to them. It survives and flourishes in the cold environment high up in the mountains where other species could not eke out a living. They seem to be rather successful as I saw quite a large number of them during my hike through the Alps, they were seen moving about in the dewy grass and anything more than a cursory inspection of any mountain stream seemed to reveal atleast one of these frogs.
