Pelophylax kl. esculentus, commonly known as the Edible Frog, thrives in freshwater habitats across Europe. It is a hybrid species, resulting from the crossbreeding of the Pool Frog and the Marsh Frog. Known for its adaptability, it exhibits a greenish-brown coloration and a distinctive croaking call. The species plays a crucial role in controlling insect populations, thus maintaining ecological balance.

Pelophylax kl. esculentus, commonly known as the Edible Frog or Green Frog, is native to Europe. It is primarily found in central and northern Europe, including countries such as France, Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands. The species has also been introduced to other regions, but its native range is primarily within the European continent.

The Edible Frog typically inhabits freshwater environments such as ponds, lakes, marshes, and slow-moving rivers. It prefers areas with abundant aquatic vegetation, which provides both food and shelter. The climate in these regions is generally temperate, with the presence of water bodies being a crucial factor for their survival.

Pelophylax kl. esculentus occupies an ecological niche as both a predator and prey within its freshwater ecosystems. It feeds on a variety of invertebrates, insects, and smaller aquatic organisms, playing a role in controlling their populations. Additionally, it serves as prey for birds, fish, and mammals. The species is well adapted to its aquatic environment, exhibiting behaviors such as basking in the sun and a high degree of mobility in water.
