IT'S RAINING FROGS
The Green Frog ranges from 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) in size, with
the male frog having a large prominent
tympanum and a yellow throat in contrast to the female
frog's white throat and smaller eardrum. Dorsolateral ridges are
prominent in contrast to the
Bullfrog whose dorsolateral ridges are absent. Contrary to
its name, it can be found in various colors (bronze, brown, and
light green) depending on its habitat region.
The Green Frog lives near shallow water, springs, brooks,
swamps,
and edges of
ponds and lakes that have a considerable amount of vegetation. This
frog is primarily
nocturnal and is not as wary as many other species of frog. They
rarely scream in alarm when captured. The call is often compared to the
twang of a
banjo string, usually given as a single note, but sometimes repeated
rapidly several times to designate its territory. Its breeding season is
from March to August.
Eggs are typically laid in 3-4 small clutches that are attached to
submerged vegetation.
Tree frogs are
frogs of
the
family Hylidae. There is large variation within the tree
frogs. Many of the arboreal frogs are green in colour, whereas the
terrestrial and aquatic species are duller. They mostly feed on
insects,
however some of the larger species can feed on small
vertebrates. Many of the tree frogs are not arboreal, and can be
terrestrial or aquatic. The species within the genus
Cyclorana are burrowing frogs, sometimes spending many years
underground.
The
European tree frogs (for instance Hyla arborea) are common in
the middle and south of the continent, and range into Asia and the north
of Africa. The species become very noisy on the approach of rain, and
are sometimes kept in confinement as a kind of
barometer.
In
North America there are many species of tree frog, including
Hyla versicolor, a species of grey tree frog, and Hyla
cinerea, the
green tree frog. The
spring peeper is also widespread in the eastern
United States and commonly heard on
summer
and
spring evenings.
The tree toad is a popular name for several of the Hylidae.
Hyla versicolor is the
changeable tree toad, Trachycephalus lichenatus is the
lichened, and T. marmoratus the
marbled tree toad.
