Rana clamitans melanota
A little boy found this one in a ditch and brought her into the visitors center.
Marshy/ ditch
Suprisingly she was fully grown. So somehow managed to survive in the wild as a young tadpole into this beautiful frog.

Yes it is native, Its just an albino frog. Normally these wouldn't be found in nature because they set out from the rest and predators would have eaten this one with no camo to protect her. But somehow she managed to beat the odds and survive to an adult. At first she looked almost fake to me but she was a live. The wildlife biologist was also very confused because on the phone we told her its an albino green frog but we should have said its a green frog thats albino. Heres what its supposted to look like http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/756...
