Blossoming frog enthusiasts in New Brunswick will soon have a new tool to help them identify the province’s nine frog and toad species. Aided by a $2,700 grant from the Canadian Wildlife Federation, Nature NB is producing a poster and field guide to introduce beginners of all ages to their amphibious neighbours.
The northern leopard frog is green or brown with dark, rounded, light-edged random spots, and a white belly that occasionally has a yellowish tinge. The body length of this species can exceed 10 centimetres but on average adults are usually five to nine centimetres long.
