Marsh Frog

The marsh frog (Pelophylax ridibundus) is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is native to continental Europe and parts of western Asia, where it inhabits bodies of water from puddles and ponds to lakes and rivers, and even brackish coastal environments, as well as their surrounding areas. Closely related to the pool frog and Perez's frog, the marsh frog can interbreed with these species to produce fertile hybrids called the edible frog and Graf's hybrid frog respectively, which maintain their populations by breeding with one of their parental species.
