The structure of the feet and legs varies greatly among frog species, depending in part on whether they live primarily on the ground, in water, in trees, or in burrows. Adult anurans have four fingers on the hands and five toes on the feet, [51] but the smallest species often have hands and feet where some of the digits are vestigial. [52]
The Hyperoliidae, or sedge frogs and bush frogs, are a large family of small to medium-sized, brightly colored frogs which contain more than 250 species in 19 genera. Seventeen genera are native to sub-Saharan Africa. [ 1 ]

Some 50 to 100 extant species are now placed in this genus by various authors; many other species formerly placed in Rana are now placed elsewhere. Frost [3] restricted Rana to the Old World true frogs and the Eurasian brown and pond frogs of the common frog R. temporaria group, [4] although other authors disagreed with this arrangement.
A Cuban tree frog explored in Lake Worth, Florida in 2010. According to the University of Florida, the frogs are an invasive species.
When feasible, this species utilizes caves for thermal refugia during the coldest months of the year. [8] The pickerel frog is a trogloxene species, meaning they occur in caves, but are unable to complete their life cycles there. Though they are most abundant in caves during the winter, they are active deep within caves at almost any time of year.
