Marsh Frog

Marsh Frog

The Marsh Frog is native to Europe and belongs to the family of green frogs.

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

The frog that I shot was pretty good camouflaged between the dense vegetation but nevertheless I spotted him.
Lucky for him, I'm not a heron....... :-))
