European Common Frog is widespread throughout most of Europe as well as a north-western part of Asia. It inhabits even polar regions and is recorded up to elevations of 2,700 m above sea level. Still, the species is absent from southernmost Europe, including Portugal and southern parts of Spain, Italy and Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The population is currently stable. The species is generally very common. However, some populations in Western Europe are in decline (in Switzerland, Spain) due to the water pollution and draining of breeding sites and ponds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
