Pickerel frogs have varied habitats, the northern populations prefer to live near cold, clear water. They prefer rocky ravines, bogs and meadow streams, but can be found around lakes and rivers that are heavily wooded. In a study on amphibians in Canada, pickerel frogs were negatively associated with young forest stands. [6]
The river frog (Lithobates heckscheri) is a species of aquatic frog in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to the southeastern United States . Its natural habitats are temperate rivers , swamps , freshwater lakes and freshwater marshes .
Ground-dwelling frogs generally lack the adaptations of aquatic and arboreal frogs. Most have smaller toe pads, if any, and little webbing. Some burrowing frogs such as Couch's spadefoot (Scaphiopus couchii) have a flap-like toe extension on the hind feet, a keratinised tubercle often referred to as a spade, that helps them to burrow.

Fall River is located at (43.385346, -89.045818 [ 6 ] According to the United States Census Bureau , the village has a total area of 1.92 square miles (4.97 km 2 ), of which, 1.86 square miles (4.82 km 2 ) of it is land and 0.06 square miles (0.16 km 2 ) is water.
The species has large toe pads for climbing, although it is more at home amid the loose debris of the forest floor. [8] Because of its toepads, the spring peeper was once thought to be more closely related to treefrogs than chorus frogs and was placed in the genus Hyla , but it is now in the genus Pseudacris .
Goliath frog eggs and tadpoles are about the same size as other frogs despite their very large adult form. [citation needed] A lateral fold extends from the eye to the posterior portion of the tympanum. Their toes are fully webbed, with large interdigital membranes extending down to the toe tips. The second toe is the longest.
Moor frogs also consume non-insect invertebrates from the orders gastropoda (snails and slugs), arachnida, and myriapoda (centipedes and millipedes). [16] Beetles make up the majority of the moor frog's diet due to their abundance. Large moor frogs do appear to have a preference for beetles because they are larger than most other insect prey.
Western chorus frogs live in a variety of different habitats, but areas of more permanent water increase the risk of predation on eggs and/or tadpoles. To compensate for this, chorus frogs stick to mostly ephemeral freshwater areas, such as marshes, river swamps, meadows, grassy pools, and other open areas found in mountains and prairies.
