Photo of the Month: Baby Pacific Chorus Frogs


When I saw this photo of baby Pacific Chorus Frogs (also known as Pacific Tree Frogs) sent in by Jean Wyenberg, the first thing I thought of was tiny green drops of rain dotting the garden. They’re certainly as light as raindrops, with two able to sit on this flower with little visible effect.

Pacific Chorus frogs have tiny suction disks on the end of each toe, allowing them to grip surfaces such as trees, leaves and walls. They’re found along the west coast of British Columbia, south to Baja California. This species makes the familiar “ribbit” song that is attributed to frogs in Hollywood movies.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful photo, Jean!
