The large green 'water frog' of marshes, lakes and slow rivers — the loud, laughing chorus that fills warm evenings around Hutovo Blato and the lowland wetlands.

Identification & best seen

Big green-to-brown frog with a pale dorsal stripe; basks at the water's edge, dives at any approach.

Habitat & where to see

Marshes, lakes, canals and slow rivers.

Fun fact

Males inflate grey vocal sacs at the corners of the mouth to power that raucous 'laughing' call.
