I have found a lot of these in Fremont Wisconsin on the shores of a pond near partridge lake. Catching them is a challenge and one that I love. Nothing makes me happier than catching a northern leopard frog on a hot and humid day.
Very cool, They are very plentiful in my area and it's good to see them. I always thought they were a sign of a healthy environment and I learned a few things by watching your video!
I'll do my best to continue providing information. These ones take some research to make, but I'm happy to do it. I'm hoping that this challenges me to find new species I haven't encountered before. I really enjoy making them, so I definitely appreciate it when others check them out. Thank you!
I used to catch these in many different Northern and Eastern frogs in Pennsylvania where I grew up and I never really had a problem catching these problems I was really good at it.
!!!!!!! I love leopard frogs!!!!! I caught one on fourth of july!! I was at a BBQ and it was raining, after it was over it was night and my family were leaving and my dad's saw somthing jump in there yard, and I was a baby leopard frog!!!! I caught it but I let it go :)
They're easier to catch at night, ideally when it's raining. A bright flashlight seems to temporarily blind them so they don't see your hand or net approaching
Great video! My local population of these has went up dramatically, I have never seen any sort of pond frog, only toads and the occasional grey tree frog, anywhere near my area ever up until this last month where I saw three in my own yard! And there is one brand new trail between two ponds where you will see upwards of 12 at a time. Perhaps the pandemic had something to do with this, or maybe my local DNR?
I have a bunch of these frogs in my garden this year. I gave them a water bowl which made more frogs show up! Should I move them to the pond down the street before winter hits? Should I give them a little hut to hibernate in? I’m in Canada and it will be freezing here soon.
I live by duryea where the mines flooded out into the river and still do and the river is orange for a couple miles, barely anything lives in that section of the Lackawanna river
I found a ton of these frogs: The location is Bossano dam in Alberta about 3 km downstream from the dam itself. Also river bed is littered with ammonite fossils other marine fossils
I wish I had more. 10 years ago with my first pnd I had a yellow one that was a min of 6 inches just show up on my porch. Next thing I know we had several around the pond. I loved them because they allowed me to get very close. They must've known I was safe. I moved and not have a new pond. Toads are all I get... ugh their sooo loud. Have tons of pics of my old ones but wish I got a shot of that first yellow one because I've never see or heard of one being yellow, although it was certainly a leopard frog
Wow. Yeah, I'd love to have encountered a yellow one. There's always some variety within the species, and that one would have to be on one end of that bell curve. Cool find.
My dad Chittagong one last year I still have it but right now it’s doing something and it looks like its yawning do you k ow what that is she is doing it Constantly for the past 10 minutes
We have tons of coastal leopard frogs in the south. They can be a pest because they eat smaller frogs. Ours must be a little slower than the northerns because they aren't as hard to catch.
Some animals need to learn behaviors from either parents, or peers, but that tends to be mammals and birds (and a few others). Since reptiles and amphibians tend to be animals that right after hatching, have no parental figures in the picture, they instead go off of instinct alone. Your Northern Leopard Frogs should do just fine in nature. Now, if a reptile/amphibian is kept as a pet for a long amount of time, and gets used to certain foods and a feeding schedule, depending upon the species, there can be difficulty in transitioning into nature and not having everything provided for it. They do need to learn the skills for survival somewhat from experience. So, it's best to release soon after it ceases being at the tadpole stage. I hope that helps!
I have a few of these and I'm having a hard time figuring out their gender, I think I have one male but I'm not positive. I read somewhere that the males don't have a lighter colored ring around their spots, anyone happen to know if thats true? Or maybe an easier way to sex them?
Word. And there will be another video of this species out soon. It'll be the next Herp Quest that comes out. Got some great footage of them calling. And I'm not show boating or exaggerating. It's some of the best footage I've taken of...well...anything. In the process of editing it this week. Out sometime this month.
@@MrLundScience Awesome can't wait to see it. Speaking of which I found a hyla versicolor in Ralston/Omaha Nebraska. Hyla Chrysocelis is the dominant hylidae of the state besides the boreal chorus frog. So it was interesting to hear a species I would normally hear when I was in New york
I'm looking to find our tree frogs calling at night. See if I can find one of each, hopefully. I've been hearing them both. Here's the Northern Leopard Frog Calling video I had mentioned: ua-cam.com/video/IfedYlvaqWU/v-deo.html
Why are you touching it with your bare hands? That's not good at all because there are oils that really hurt them, they have a permeable membrane skin. Please update this to clarify this. BTW, Pickerel frogs have 2 rows of square not rounded spots and a yellowish belly. Also, NEVER put the pickerel with other frog species...due to the fact that eat frogs, as a defense the pickerel frog releases a very toxic substance from it's skin that kills all other frog species just through that permeable skin all frogs have. Put a pickerel frog in a bucket with other frogs and they will die very quickly.
These are no longer common at all. Humans have killed most of them. I'm in Maine and I've read that their population is now "of particular concern," which is so sad. Kids do experiments on them in school (barbaric) and that's one of the factors that has contributed to their demise. (I remember in school, they wanted us to dissect a frog. I refused. I told the teacher, "Give me an F," because I was not going to contribute to the slaughter but most kids don't care. They are savages). Anyway, yesterday, I was mowing my lawn and had to stop the mower. I then had to shoosh little froggie off the lawn and into the woods. Then, of course, my mower wouldn't restart, so I have a half-mowed lawn out there! lol But mine was definitely yellow (not green or brown) with black spots--was it a Northern Leopard Frog??

Northern Leopard Frog very attractive. Thanks for finding him/her and sharing him/her with us.
Very happy to do so. Thanks for checking it out!

I used to catch these in many different Northern and Eastern frogs in Pennsylvania where I grew up and I never really had a problem catching these problems I was really good at it.
I remember trying to catch these frogs as a kid and can confirm it's very difficult even with a net, they're super fast and they scare very easily.
You just gotta sneak up, they are quite easy to catch.
!!!!!!! I love leopard frogs!!!!! I caught one on fourth of july!!
I was at a BBQ and it was raining, after it was over it was night and my family were leaving and my dad's saw somthing jump in there yard, and I was a baby leopard frog!!!! I caught it but I let it go :)
If you love Leopard Frogs, this "sequel" is a MUST see for you: ua-cam.com/video/IfedYlvaqWU/v-deo.html

I just got one as a pet they can really jump!
We found one today an my daughter wants to keep it! Found a great tank for now until we get a bigger one!
I caught one at menards flower area and now i have it as a pet but idk if it has samonella witch scares me lol

I cought like 5 a day when I was a kid I'm really good at catching them

I have found one of those frogs in my yard last 3 months ago
I have them 50and even 100 yards from my creek to my house my dog loves to TRY to get them lol
My dad Chittagong one last year I still have it but right now it’s doing something and it looks like its yawning do you k ow what that is she is doing it Constantly for the past 10 minutes
We have so many leopard frogs in texas
Texas has a LOT of cool things. I definitely hope to visit one day.
Can pickeral frogs be green?
These things are all over my cabin yard...

They must be slower then, yes. These guys are a dickens to catch if it's warm in the day.
Your going out with anett Trevor ?!?
Dope bro they indangerd
🥳 wow you are brave
Are you talking about catching the frog, or going on UA-cam with that hair color?
@@MrLundScience hair color lol I dig it though. And that's such a beautiful frog
I have a leopard froglet that I think is a pickeral frog
😀😀
I have pet leapord frog tadpoles and when they turn into frogs can I release them or will they not know how to hunt

MrLundScience thanks maybe ill keep them as frogs for a day or 2 then release them really helped have been driving myself crazy over this👍
I have a few of these and I'm having a hard time figuring out their gender, I think I have one male but I'm not positive. I read somewhere that the males don't have a lighter colored ring around their spots, anyone happen to know if thats true? Or maybe an easier way to sex them?
Ah. Lithobates pipiens.

u know what they say about big thumbs...
Yes. Big thumbnails...but I don't think that applies to frogs...
