Field Notes

Description:

One of the best looking frogs out there in my opinion. Large, about 4" with brown spots covering a glossy green and brown body. White lines run down the outside ridges of the body.

Habitat:

Swampy pond area in a mixed forest.

Notes:

Found on a night frog hunt with a group of 3rd-6th graders staying at our camp for an overnight outdoor retreat and photographed the following day before release.
