The Northern green frog (Rana clamitans melanota,[1] also known as Lithobates clamitans melanota[2]) is a subspecies of the green frog. It is moderately large. It is found in the northeast United States and some of eastern Canada. Its call sounds like a plucked banjo. It has a fold running from the top of its eyes down the side of its back. The bullfrog does not have these folds. It is normally found in swamps, marshes, and muddy streams.
