The European edible frog, scientifically known as Pelophylax esculenta, is a fascinating amphibian that can be found in various habitats across Europe. In June, by the serene Lake Belau, one can witness these frogs gracefully hopping around, showcasing their vibrant green coloration. Even in urban parks, next to ponds with distant buildings looming in the background, these adaptable creatures thrive. During breeding season at Klein Schietveld in Brasschaat, Belgium, male edible frogs make their presence known by calling out from the surface of the pond. Their distinctive croaks echo through the air as they search for potential mates. In Prypiat area, Belarus during June 2009, a close-up shot reveals intricate details of an individual frog's appearance - its mesmerizing eyes and sleek skin. These agile swimmers are often spotted gliding past Greater bladderwort (Utricularia), showcasing their ability to navigate through aquatic vegetation effortlessly. Latorica backwater in Slovakia serves as another picturesque location where European edible frogs bask in the sun-drenched ponds. Notably related to this species is the common European frog hybrid called Pelophylax kl. Esculentus - a result of interbreeding between Pool frogs (Pelophylax lessonae). This unique genetic combination adds further intrigue to these already captivating creatures. In countries like Switzerland and Netherlands too, these delightful amphibians find solace on logs or amongst duckweed-covered waterscapes. Their presence adds vibrancy and life to these natural environments.
