Amphibian Pond: Frogs, Toads & Newts

A Living Freshwater Pond

The camera frames a small amphibian pond at close range, its surface broken by aquatic plants, mossy stones and a half-submerged rock that doubles as a natural basking platform. The clear, shallow water makes it easy to spot movement beneath the surface, turning an ordinary charca into a stage for pond life.

Frogs, Toads and Newts

This habitat supports a rich community of amphibians — frogs, toads and newts that breed, feed and shelter among the vegetation. Patient watchers may also catch dragonflies, water beetles and birds drawn to the water's edge.
