A Frog on a Lily Pad

At the center of this pond scene, a natural-looking frog rests on a large, round lily pad. Aquatic flowers and tall grasses rise around the animal, placing it within a sheltered freshwater habitat. The frog and its floating leaf are the main focus, while the surrounding vegetation shows the kind of cover commonly found along a pond.

Pond Life Around the Frog

Lily pads are floating leaves connected by long stalks to plants rooted in the mud below. Their upper surfaces can provide frogs with a place to rest above the water while remaining close to food and shelter. Pond plants also create hiding places for many small animals beneath the surface.

Natural Colors of Frogs and Pond Plants

  • Frog skin: commonly green, brown, tan, or a mottled combination
  • Frog eyes: gold, copper, brown, or dark black
  • Lily pad: medium to deep green, sometimes with reddish areas
  • Aquatic flowers: white, pink, yellow, blue, or purple, depending on the plant
  • Tall pond grasses: fresh green, olive green, or straw brown
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why do frogs sit on lily pads?
A lily pad can offer a convenient resting surface near the water. From there, a frog may watch for insects and quickly leap away if danger approaches.
Can a frog breathe underwater?
An adult frog breathes mainly with lungs, but it can also absorb oxygen through its moist skin. It still needs suitable conditions and cannot remain underwater indefinitely in every situation.
What helps a frog live near a pond?
Strong hind legs help it jump and swim, while webbed feet give many pond frogs extra power in the water. Its coloring may also help it blend into vegetation.
