The European edible frog, scientifically known as Rana esculenta, is a fascinating amphibian that can be found in various habitats across Europe. One such location is Lake Belau, where a beautiful specimen was captured on camera in June. Its vibrant green coloration perfectly blends with the surrounding environment of pond weed in Vosges, France. This species has been admired for centuries, as depicted in 19th-century lithographs showcasing its unique features and charm. Even in urban parks, these frogs manage to find their place next to ponds with distant buildings serving as a backdrop. During breeding season, the male edible frog calls out from the surface of ponds like Klein Schietveld in Brasschaat. Their distinct vocalizations fill the air and serve as a reminder of nature's wonders. A close-up view reveals intricate details of this creature's head and eyes. In the Prypiat area of Belarus and Slovakia's Latorica backwater, photographers have managed to capture stunning shots that showcase every aspect of its beauty, and is not only visually captivating but also interacts with other aquatic organisms like Greater bladderwort (Utricularia), which it gracefully swims past while searching for food or shelter. With its presence spanning across different landscapes and regions within Europe, Rana esculenta continues to captivate both researchers and nature enthusiasts alike. Its adaptability allows it to thrive even amidst human development while reminding us all about the importance of preserving our natural world for future generations.
