Pig frogs are important members of their ecosystem, helping to control the populations of the insects and other small animals that they eat. They play a vital role in maintaining the balance of their wetland habitats. The percentage of Pig frogs' prey items varies throughout the year, most likely due to the availability of resources. [4]
Wood frogs range from 51 to 70 mm (2.0 to 2.8 in) in length. Females are larger than males. [5] [6] Adult wood frogs are usually brown, tan, or rust-colored, and usually have a dark eye mask. [7] Individual frogs are capable of varying their color; Conant (1958) depicts one individual which was light brown and dark brown at different times.
Snails have also been observed as a food source. Like most frogs, Dryophytes chrysocelis is an opportunistic feeder and may also eat smaller frogs, including other treefrogs. [24] Once the breeding season is over, Cope's gray treefrogs will forage continuously until winter. [25] Cope's gray treefrog exhibits freeze tolerance. [26]
[2] [11] Some evidence suggests that green tree frogs can exhibit a color change in response to their background and/or temperature. [12] The dorsum is peppered with small golden spots, and the frogs have a white to cream coloration on their ventral side. American green tree frogs also contain white prominent lateral stripes.
As you can see, our resident animals adapt and change for the winter season. Therefore, they fit Meggison’s and Darwin’s rules/statements and we can expect many of them to successfully survive ...
Two burnsi morphs, a green morph, and a brown morph of the northern leopard frog Brown morph northern leopard frog in a wood chip pile in Iowa. The northern leopard frog has several different color variations, with the most common two being the green and the brown morphs, with another morph known as the burnsi morph. Individuals with the burnsi morph coloration lack spots on their backs, but ...

Pickerel frogs have varied habitats, the northern populations prefer to live near cold, clear water. They prefer rocky ravines, bogs and meadow streams, but can be found around lakes and rivers that are heavily wooded. In a study on amphibians in Canada, pickerel frogs were negatively associated with young forest stands. [6]
