Green Frog (Lithobates clamitans)
The Green Frog occurs in southern parts of central and east Canada as well as the eastern half of the United States. Green frogs are usually found in or near shallow permanent wetlands such as swamps, lakes and streams. The diet of adults consists of a variety of small invertebrates including insects and molluscs whereas jeuveniles (tadpoles) feed on decaying plant and animal parts, algae, micro-organisms and assorted organic matter suspended in water. Hibernation is in water of sufficient depth to avoid freezing in winter.
