Hey there, this is Derek's user page. I'm pretty new to this whole thing. I am a huge supporter of wiki and everything that has provided for me. I am grateful that I can contribute and provide knowledge/information through a truely awesome place.
The edible frog or green frog (Pelophylax kl. esculentus) is a common European frog species that occurs naturally from the northern half of France to western Russia and from Estonia and Denmark to Bulgaria and northern Italy, and is also an
introduced species in other parts of the continent. It is a fertile
hybrid of the
pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae) and the
marsh frog (P. ridibundus) and
reproduces using hybridogenesis, a process in which one parental genome is excluded. The species is used as food – particularly in France, as well as Germany and Italy – as the delicacy
frog legs. This edible frog was photographed in the
Danube delta east of
Tulcea, Romania.Photograph credit:
