Green Frog  (Rana clamitans)

 
Green Frog (Rana clamitans)

The Green Frog, Rana clamitans, is a highly aquatic frog and is one of the most common frogs in Kentucky.  It is a large frog measuring from 3 to 4 inches in length.  Along with the Bullfrog, it is often observed to inhabit farm ponds, but is easily distinguished from the Bullfrog by two dorsolateral ridges that run the length of the Green Frog's back and the raised center of the

tympanum.  Both the Green Frog and the Bullfrog have long breeding seasons and can be heard calling throughout most of the summer.  In addition to farm ponds, the green frog also inhabits sluggish streams and swamps throughout Kentucky.  The call of the green frog sounds like someone plun king the strings of a loosely strung banjo, usually repeated 3 or 4 times.
