The spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) [3] is a small chorus frog widespread throughout the eastern United States and Canada. [4] It prefers permanent ponds due to its advantage in avoiding predation; however, it is very adaptable with respect to the habitat it can live in.
In Ohio folklore, the Loveland frog (also known as the Loveland frogman or Loveland lizard) is a legendary humanoid frog described as standing roughly 4 feet (1.2 m) tall, allegedly spotted in Loveland, Ohio.

Pickerel frog egg masses are spherical and about the same size of a wood frog egg mass—roughly 5–10 cm in diameter—although pickerel frog egg masses contain more eggs, about 2000–3000. [4] Pickerel frog eggs are multicolored: they are dark brown on top and cream colored on the bottom.

American green tree frogs are insectivores, primarily consuming flies, mosquitoes, grasshoppers, cockroaches, spiders, beetles, and other small insects such as crickets and ants. [16] One study suggested frogs select prey not by their size, but according to their activity levels, with the most active prey being the most frequently eaten.
The family is small, comprising only eleven different species. The American spadefoot toads are of typical shape to most fossorial (or burrowing) frogs. They are round, with short legs and protruding eyes. As suggested by their name, these frogs have hard, keratinous protrusions present on their feet, which help them to dig.
The little grass frog has a few defensive mechanisms to avoid predation. Despite their small size, they can jump about 20 times their body length which can help them escape predators. [15] Their coloration also provides them with a great advantage. They have a cryptic coloration similar to the vegetation in the areas in which they live.
