What is a "leopard frog"?
A leopard frog is a medium-sized frog species found throughout North America. It is named after its distinctive spotted or mottled pattern, resembling the spots on a leopard. The leopard frog is known for its excellent jumping ability and its loud and distinctive mating calls during the breeding season. It prefers to inhabit freshwater habitats such as ponds, lakes, and marshes, where it feeds on insects, small invertebrates, and sometimes even small vertebrates. The leopard frog plays an important role in the ecosystem as both predator and prey, contributing to the balance of the food chain in its habitat.
