True frogs – Family Ranidae

There are five species of true frogs found in Ohio. The true frogs or ranids generally have a dorsolateral fold of glandular tissue extending from in back of the ear drum or tympanum nearly to the hind legs. Bullfrogs are the exception and do not possess a dorsolateral fold.

Ranidae is the largest family of frogs; its members typically have prominent lobes on the rear margin of the tongue, long legs, and extensive webbing between the toes.
