Rana catesbeiana
Size: to 6"
Habitat: prefers larger bodies of water
Notes: This big frog will eat almost anything that moves. They have been known to catch and eat birds.
Green frog (right) is similar but smaller. Neither of these frogs is likely to stray too far from water.
Chelonia midas
Size: to 48" ( shell ) and 450 lbs.
Habitat: oceanic
Notes: Greatly reduced in numbers due to hunting. The Green is the largest hard-shelled sea turtle, and also the only vegetarian, feeding on algae and "Turtle Grass." Green Sea Turtles are not particularly green on the outside but have green fat, for which they were named in the days when sailors still caught and ate them. Green Sea Turtles have four large scales or "scutes" along each side of the shell; Loggerheads have five.
