Good Day Florida Freeper Friend,
Is the first frog , what I would call a Leopard frog? I had those in my ponds in S. Florida years ago. They were fast and could leap a surprising distance. Those ponds and denizens are the only thing I miss about that end of Fl.!
What is you take on ID?
Thanks many times over for photos.

That's a Southern Leopard Frog AKA rocket frog, because they take off like a rocket if they think you're going to step on them.

They come in green and brown.

They aren't as big as Yankee Leopard frogs but a lot smarter and better looking!

Southern Leopard Frog Rana sphenocephala utricularia
