A frog on a lily pad

The frog rests on the floating leaf with its side facing the viewer and its folded hind legs supported above the water. Clumps of high grass and reeds rise on both sides, creating the sheltered margins of a pond. The round lily pad forms a natural platform within the frog’s freshwater home.

Life at the pond surface

A lily pad is the broad floating leaf of a water lily, connected by a long stalk to a plant rooted below. Frogs may use floating leaves as temporary resting or lookout places, although they also spend time at the shore, underwater, or among vegetation. Their eyes and nostrils sit high on the head, helping them observe and breathe while much of the body remains submerged.

  • Reeds and grass: green, yellow-green, or straw brown
Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Why can a frog sit on a lily pad without sinking it?
A broad lily pad spreads the frog’s weight across the water. The leaf also contains air spaces that help it float at the surface.
What does a pond frog eat?
Adult frogs commonly catch insects, spiders, worms, and other small animals. They use quick body movements and, in many species, a sticky tongue to capture prey.
How does a frog move between a lily pad and the water?
Strong hind legs allow it to leap from the leaf or push through the water. Webbing on the feet helps many pond-dwelling frogs swim efficiently.
