common frogs
Widespread European amphibians
Common frogs are the most widespread amphibian species in Europe, found in gardens, woods, and wetlands.
They're the frogs most people picture—brownish-green with dark patches, returning to ponds each spring to breed in masses of gelatinous spawn.
The common frog population has declined with the loss of garden ponds.
