tree frog
Branch-dwelling croaker
A tree frog is a small frog adapted for climbing, typically with adhesive toe pads that grip bark and leaves.
Most live in trees or shrubs rather than in water or on the ground.
Tree frogs are found worldwide in warm climates and are known for their loud calls: We fell asleep to the chorus of tree frogs.
