Rana clamitans

Green Frog

 

This is a green frog.  I took this picture in April of 2005 with my Sony Cybershot DSC-T1.  I originally posted it here.  Note the large eardrum and  its dorsolateral ridges.  The  American Bullfrog-Rana catesbeiana , like the green frog,  has a large tympanum, but it lacks the dorsolateral ridges running down the back seen in the green frog.
