What exactly is a Pine Barren Tree Frog

You've seen the site, clicked on the links, and watched the videos. Now, it is time to learn more. Strait out of the class, Amphibia, the Pine Barrens Tree Frog is often identified by it's bright green body. Bold white and yellow spots can also be found periodically on the hips and torso of this species. Under it's belly, the Treefrog has bold orange and yellow coloring that is visible when the frog jumps and stretches it's torso. Male Treefrogs have hintings of purple too. The average Pine Barren can range anywhere from 1 to 1.75 inches tall. Tree Frogs can navigate woodlands and wetlands because of their suction-cup like fingers and toes. They are extremely agile and move through a series of hops and jumps. Their mating call is a loud, terse honking sound that can be heard from late spring to mid-summer. The honks continue in rapid recession in order for groups of males to attract females, who then chose out of the group. Frog specialists can distinguish the Pine Barren from other frogs because of it's coloring and slender facial structure. When a PB is born, it is a herbivore eating algae, fungi, and small plants. As the PB matures, it can eat small insect invertebraes. The average PBTF will live to be about five years old. This concludes the basic description of the Pine Barrens Treefrog.
