In educational settings, the most commonly dissected frog species is the leopard frog (Rana pipiens), or sometimes the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana). These species are often chosen because they have organs similar to those of humans, which makes them good specimens for teaching anatomy and biology. Moreover, leopard frogs are a preferred choice because of their size (making them easier to work with), and because they are abundant in nature, which is an important ethical consideration.
