Some populations have a diet high in ants and beetles. [13] However, like most frogs, D. versicolor is opportunistic and may also eat smaller frogs, including other treefrogs. [12] During the day, they often rest on horizontal tree branches or leaves out in the open. Gray treefrogs have also been observed to lay out in the direct sun.
Crawfish frogs can travel more than 1 km between ponds during the breeding season, [8] indicating that protected regions should be large enough to include multiple ponds. [21] Within these protected areas, mowing, plowing, and heavy vehicle use should all be limited in the summer. [19] Additional conservation strategies include genetic ...
The short, closed season from May until mid-June annually gives frogs time to make tadpoles. Bullfrog tadpoles, the state’s largest species, can take a few years to become air-breathing bellowers.
Upland chorus frogs are secretive, freeze-tolerant, [3] nocturnal frogs, and are rarely seen (or heard) except immediately after rains. Their chorus will vary depending on the area they are found within, because they have significantly different pulse patterns in many different locations across their distribution. [ 2 ]
Western chorus frogs live in a variety of different habitats, but areas of more permanent water increase the risk of predation on eggs and/or tadpoles. To compensate for this, chorus frogs stick to mostly ephemeral freshwater areas, such as marshes, river swamps, meadows, grassy pools, and other open areas found in mountains and prairies.
The nearly 400 northern leopard frogs were collected as eggs by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife and raised from tadpoles by Northwest Trek Wildlife Park and Oregon zoo staff ...
During the final stages of transformation when the tadpoles have four limbs and a tail, they stop feeding for a short time while their mouths widen and their digestive systems adjust from herbivorous to carnivorous. Pacific tree frogs mature quickly, and usually mate the season after metamorphosis. They can live up to eight years in captivity.
