Canadian Gardening: I have froggies!, 1 by sanannie

Ginny - I think your handsome frog there is either a Mink frog or Green frog, rather than a leopard frog. I wanted to know the kinds of frogs that hang out at my place and found that the bright green, spotted ones that like to hop around in the grass are the Leopard Frogs. The Mink frogs or Green frogs hang out almost entirely in the water, they float there, or sit on the water plants.

To tell for sure if you have a mink frog, they apparently emit a musky odor when stroked. I haven't actually tried this, but you can go ahead and try it! LOL

Also, the Green frog has really prominent external eardrums right behind it's eyes.

This guy from last year, is either a Green Frog or a Mink frog - I dunno, I didn't take a whiff. LOL
