Frogs release corticosteroids in response to many environmental factors [57] and this pattern of release is often species-specific within Amphibia [58] More specifically, increased stocking density and hypoxia cause changes in cortisol (one of the glucocorticoids) and white blood cells in American bullfrog tadpoles (Lithobates catesbeianus ...
Squirrel tree frogs are small frogs, about 1.5 inches in length as adults. There are several color variations, but most commonly they are green and look very much like the American green tree frog . They can also be varying shades of yellow or brown, sometimes with white or brown blotching.

Grey foam-nest tree frogs usually reside in varying habitats, such as savannah, shrubland, forests, pastureland, and urban areas. [2] There have been mentions of these frogs living in Australia in addition to their native range in southern Africa. [4]
A small creature with a “yolk-yellow” underside sat on a mountain in southwestern China and breathed in the thin air. Something about the animal caught the attention of nearby scientists.
The southern cricket frog has longer legs, with less webbing on the hind feet, and a more pointed snout, though northern cricket frogs have been observed with snouts indistinguishable from those of the southern species, [7] and the markings on the back of the thigh are typically more sharply defined than that of the northern cricket frog, [8 ...
