Wild Frogs

Here are some commonly wild frogs around my area.
They live in the local field pond (protected by Wildlife and nature reserves).





my dad and a frog

 

:eek: Nice to see the wild life Tay...but not in your hand!.. Couldn't do that...YUK!..anyway,it might bite :D

 

Tay, looks like plump females ready to spawn.

Pal, only Horned Frogs (Pacmans) bite, they have serrated jaws and can draw blood! :eek:
See the pic I added at the bottom of Tay's thread in Members Gallery! that little chap has a mouth like a drawbridge and can eat mice and small birds.
Common frogs are cute untill you pick them up and they vacate their bladder hoping you will release them immediately. :D

 

Awwww ..How sweet! :D

 

Haha, yes pal, normal common frogs and pool frogs do not bite.
Like Strongylodon said, they vacate their bladder hopign you will release them.

We often have newts, but their so fast you can barely catch a photo here.

 

Here's one for you Tay a young Smooth newt, or common newt Triturus vulgaris taken last year.

We used to have newts in our pond along side the frogs but I haven't seen any for ages.

 

They've probably been newtered and can't reproduce. :D
