Mating pair of Common Frogs
A mating pair of Common Frogs (Rana temporaria). Frogs congregate in ponds in early spring (end of February in the UK) to mate. There is intense competition between the males to grab a female and to hold onto her during spawning. Shallow, still water is preferred and small ponds are often favoured, as in this garden pond in Dorset UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing moment in nature's cycle of life. A mating pair of Common Frogs, scientifically known as Rana temporaria, are captured in their amorous embrace. The image transports us to an idyllic garden pond nestled in the scenic county of Dorset, United Kingdom. In early spring, when February bids farewell and welcomes the promise of new beginnings, these amphibious creatures congregate in ponds for their annual courtship ritual. The males eagerly vie for the attention of a female companion and fiercely compete to secure her affections during spawning. The preferred setting for this enchanting spectacle is shallow and still water. It is not uncommon to find these passionate encounters taking place within small ponds like the one depicted here. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time by Science Photo Library, we cannot help but marvel at the wonders that unfold amidst our own backyards. This photograph serves as a testament to the intricate beauty found within biology's realm. It reminds us that reproduction is not solely confined to humans but rather permeates every corner of our natural world. Let us cherish this glimpse into the delicate dance between two frogs—a celebration of life itself—captured with precision by Science Photo Library (not affiliated with any commercial use).
