The Siberian frog is a medium-sized amphibian from the family of true frogs. It inhabits forests and water bodies of the Far East and Siberia and can survive severe frosts in winter.
The Siberian frog differs from related species by its ability to freeze in winter without harm to the body. It is important for nature as a consumer of insects and food for birds, snakes, and mammals.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
