Common water frogs are widespread in Europe except for the Pyrenees, and the Balkans. The species is quite common in Lithuania. The Lithuanians call it “Didžioji kūdrinė varlė” (great pond frog), due to its size.
Attractive, harmless to humans, red-and-black firebugs are the most common species of the family Pyrrhocoridae in Europe and the only representative species of the family living in Lithuania.
Feral cats have either never had any contact with humans or their contacts with humans have diminished over time. They are the same species as pet cats but usually too fearful to be handled or adopted; feral cats are truly wild animals.
