Common frog leaping

Common frog. High-speed photograph of a common frog, Rana temporaria, leaping from a rock. The long powerful hind legs are seen at centre left. The body and legs total 6-10 centimetres in length. This mainly nocturnal frog lives in woodlands close to streams or in other wetlands, hunting and feeding on small invertebrates. It is largely terrestrial, although it requires moist conditions and must return to the water to breed. During winter it hibernates in muddy marshes or deeply embedded in the soil. The common frog is found throughout much of Europe

Amphibian Amphibious Carnivore Carnivorous Common Frog Frogs High Speed Photography Jumping Leaping Predator Predatory Rana Temporaria


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the incredible agility and power of a Common frog as it leaps from a rock. The high-speed photograph showcases the frog's long hind legs, which are essential for its remarkable jumping ability. With a body length ranging between 6-10 centimeters, this amphibian is a common sight in woodlands near streams or wetlands across Europe. The Common frog is primarily active during the night, making it a nocturnal creature that hunts and feeds on small invertebrates. Although it spends most of its time on land, this fascinating predator requires moist conditions and returns to water for breeding purposes. During winter months, it hibernates either in muddy marshes or deeply buried within the soil. As an amphibious carnivore, the Common frog plays an important role in maintaining ecological balance within its habitat. Its presence signifies healthy ecosystems with abundant prey populations. This particular image not only highlights the beauty of nature but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these delicate creatures and their habitats. Captured by Science Photo Library using high-speed photography techniques, this stunning print invites us into the world of British wildlife where frogs like Rana temporaria thrive amidst lush greenery and flowing streams. It serves as both an educational tool for zoology enthusiasts and a visual delight for anyone who appreciates nature's wonders.
