Green Frog

A medium-sized frog: 7.5 to 12.5 cm (3 - 5 in), with dorso-lateral ridges that are well-defined, extending from the back of each eye down the back. The toes are extensively webbed and the second toe is longer than the first. Coloration is generally dark green but some individuals are more brown or yellow and all have small irregular black spots and a white to yellow ventrum. Specimens from cypress swamps are often very dark brown or almost black. Males often have a bright yellow throat and their tympanum is much larger than their eye (whereas the tympanum of females are about the same size as the eye)
