Named for the black blotches that cover its back, the Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa) favours shallow wetlands, where it consumes a steady diet of insects.

Loss of habitat from human activity, invasive organisms and pollutants has put the Oregon spotted frog on Canada’s endangered list. Restricted in Canada to a small population found only in British Columb
