The Common Frog (Rana temporaria) is a carnivore species found in European wetlands and gardens. It typically lives 5-10 years, weighing around 0.02-0.08 kg, and is currently classified as Least Concern on conservation status lists.
One fact worth knowing about the common frog: Frogs absorb water through their skin instead of drinking it.
Amphibians live a double life, often starting in water as larvae before transforming to breathe air as adults. Frogs, toads, and salamanders are especially sensitive to environmental change, making them useful indicators of ecosystem health.
