tree frogs

Climbing amphibian chorus

Tree frogs are small frogs adapted for life in trees, with specialized toe pads that let them climb and cling to vertical surfaces.

They're found worldwide in tropical and temperate regions.

Most are under three inches long and many are brightly colored: We could hear tree frogs calling from the pond at dusk.
