The marsh frog (Pelophylax ridibundus) is a species of true frog and the largest frog native to Europe; females of this sexually dimorphic species may be up to 17 centimetres (6.7 in) long. The marsh frog feeds mainly on insects, but it also eats smaller amphibians, fish, and rodents.
Frogs are extremely efficient at converting what they eat into body mass. They are an important food source for predators and part of the food web dynamics of many of the world's ecosystems. The skin is semi-permeable, making them susceptible to dehydration, so they either live in moist places or have special adaptations to deal with dry habitats.

Most species (e.g. Blyth's river frog L. blythii or the fanged river frog L. macrodon) develop normally, with free-swimming tadpoles that eat food. [5] The tadpoles of the corrugated frog ( L. laticeps ) are free-swimming but endotrophic, meaning they do not eat but live on stored yolk until metamorphosis into frogs. [ 5 ]
