The northern leopard frog hasn’t been seen or heard of for ten years. It is 2 to almost 5 inches long, green, brown or yellow, with large oval dark spots surrounded by a lighter halo and was found along streams and rivers, wetlands, permanent or temporary pools, beaver ponds and also permanent bodies of water depending on its life stage. But last week, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that the frog could receive Endangered Species Act protection, rekindling hopes among researchers from around the region that the frog could stage a comeback.
