  Edible frog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rana esculenta is a hybrid between Pool Frog (Rana lessonae) and the Marsh Frog (Rana ridibunda), hence the addition of the kl.
However when edible frogs mate with each other, their offsprings are often misformed, so a pure population of edible frogs cannot survive.
In nature the female edible frogs usually mate with males of one of the other two species to keep the hybrid population alive, leaving the male edible frogs without descendants.
