Edible Frog
Pelophylax kl. esculentus
The adult edible frog is a semi-aquatic frog of ponds, lakes, canals, marshes, and slow rivers, often basking on banks or floating vegetation. It hunts insects, spiders, worms, small crustaceans, and other small animals by waiting alertly and lunging from the water’s edge. When threatened, it usually leaps into water and dives for cover among plants or mud. A notable fact is that it is a hybridogenetic frog, commonly involving pool frogs and marsh frogs in its unusual reproductive system.
