Northern Red-legged Frog

Rana aurora

The northern red-legged frog is found in southwestern British Columbia, mainly at low altitudes. It breeds in cool ponds or slow-moving streams close to vegetation. This frog can live in forests far from open water during moist conditions. Degradation or loss of habitat, as well as predation and competition from bullfrogs are the main threats facing the red-legged frog. It is protected from collection.
