Description:
Europe is home to a rich diversity of frogs and toads, featuring over 30 species that thrive in various habitats across the continent. Notably, the common frog (Rana temporaria) is widespread and can be found in gardens, forests, and wetlands, recognizable by its smooth skin and varying colors. The emerald green toad (Bufo viridis), known for its striking coloration, has adapted well to urban environments and is often heard during its distinctive mating calls in spring. These amphibians play crucial roles in ecosystems, serving as both predator and prey in food webs. Their populations are increasingly threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and climate change, making conservation efforts essential.
