Marsh Frog

Very close to the chantoir of Sècheval (see my picture of yesterday below), I spotted this marsh frog who probably wintered in the chantoir.

It’s a striking animal, capable of living both on land and in water. With its long powerful hind legs, it is the fastest amphibian !
The placement of the large eyes allows the frog to see predators without moving the rest of its body.

Depending on its habitat, it can be found in various colors and patterns : mostly green, but also bronze, brown and even a rare grey is possible.

Dutch name : Meerkikker
