Canyon Treefrog

Description:

The canyon treefrog is a relatively small (to about 2.2 inches), rough-skinned frog with large adhesive toe pads for climbing. It is a gray, tan, or olive frog typically with green or gray blotches or spots, but sometimes lacking spots. It lacks a dark stripe through the eye, and the toes on the hind feet are webbed. Adult males have a dark throat patch and frogs often have considerable yellow or orange in the groin and inner thighs. Tadpoles typically have dark spots and patches, and become speckled with golden or bronze coloration as they mature. They grow to about 1.5 inches prior to metamorphosis.

Habitat:

Rocks above a small pool of water in a dry stream bed.
