Description

Habitat

Ecology: The species is present in coniferous (fir, spruce, larch etc. ), mixed and deciduous forests (through which it penetrates the tundra and forest steppe zones), shrublands and grasslands. It is found most frequently in open, wet places such as wet meadows and forest glades, swamps , overgrown lakeshores, riverbanks, and floodplains . On Sakhalin Island, the species is present in tussock tundra like bogs . Reproduction and larval development takes place in shallow lakes , ponds , ditches, large puddles and marshes with stagnant water. Large numbers of this frog may be found hibernating in the bottom mud of ponds and pools . It may be found in slightly modified habitats .[1].
