Barking Tree Frog

Dryophytes gratiosus (LeConte, 1856)

Dryophytes gratiosus, the barking treefrog, is the largest native US tree frog, found across the US Southeast coastal plain.","description":{"optimized_content":"Dryophytes gratiosus is the largest native tree frog in the United States, getting its name from its raucous, explosive call. It has a head-body length of 5 to 7 cm (2.0 to 2.8 in). While its color is variable, it is easily recognizable by characteristic dark, round markings on its dorsum. Individuals can be bright or dull green, brown, yellowish, or gray, with small grey and green-yellow spots. It has prominent, round toe pads, and males have a large vocal sac. This species has skin unlike any other American frog: it is not rough and warty, nor is it smooth, instead being thick and leathery. Its skin can change color based on lighting, time of day, temperature, or surroundings. Color changes are rapid, and its spots can appear to disappear and reappear over time. Its eyes are colored brown, gold, and black. Its geographic range spans from Delaware to southern Florida and eastern Louisiana, most often in coastal areas. Isolated colonies also exist in Maryland, Kentucky, and Tennessee. A temporary population was found in New Jersey in 1957. Adult Dryophytes gratiosus usually live in trees or bushes, and can burrow deep into mud and logs for extra protection from predators. For breeding, barking treefrogs need suitable habitat of shallow, semi-permanent pools with open canopies or grass-dominated ponds that have at least some open water.","one_line_intro":"Dryophytes
