Barking Treefrog

Description:

Small neon green tree frog.

Notes:

I encountered this little guy outside my work one morning I initially believed that this was a Squirel Treefrog, I was told that based on the granulose skin, which the squirrel treefrog doesn't have (it's actually smooth), it's actual identification is that it's a Barking Treefrog. Scientific name Hyla gratiosa. He was only about an inch and a half. I didn't think that the frog was a barking treefrog because all of the pictures of the barking treefrog had these splotchy markings on it's back. But the UF source also explained that "back is marked with dark, round spots that may fade when the frog changes color, and sometimes with small, yellow flecks. Sides may be marked with light stripes with irregular borders," so that explains why it's appearance didn't match the photographs online. http://procezzed.blogspot.com/2014/09/ba...
