Description
This species is a mid-sized true frog. Adult green frogs range from 5�10 cm (2.0�3.9 in) in body length (snout to vent, excluding the hindlegs). The typical body weight of this species is from 28 to 85 g (0.99 to 3.0 oz). Males have a tympanum twice the diameter of the eye and a bright yellow throat. Female tympanum diameter is about the same as that of the eye. Dorsolateral ridges, prominent, seam-like skin folds that run down the sides of the back, distinguish the green frog from the bullfrog, which entirely lacks them.
