The northern green frog (Lithobates clamitans melanota) [2] is a subspecies of the green frog, Lithobates clamitans. It is native to the northeastern North America and has been introduced to British Columbia. [3] Its mating call sounds like the single note of a plucked banjo. It is also quite common in the pet trade.
For the Green Frog species, the prevalence of Bd was significantly higher in closed canopy streams, while infection intensities were higher in emergent wetlands. This could be due to prevalence being directly related to lower temperature habitats which are present in the canopy streams. [21] Green Frogs historically have several types of predators.
The American green tree frog became the state amphibian of Louisiana in 1997 [32] and of Georgia in 2005. [33] [34] American green tree frogs can also be used as bioindicators for aquatic contamination. Synthetic compounds such as polychlorinated biphenyls are found in many pesticides and pollute the green tree frog's aquatic habitats.
The growling grass frog (Ranoidea raniformis), also commonly known as the southern bell frog, warty swamp frog and erroneously as the green frog, is a species of ground-dwelling tree frog native to southeastern Australia, ranging from southern South Australia along the Murray River though Victoria to New South Wales, with populations through Tasmania.
Consequently, the genus Hylarana, of which the common green frog is the type species, warrants re-establishment. Hylarana seems to form a clade together with the similarly revalidated genera Pulchrana and Sylvirana, and presumably also Hydrophylax as well as some species presently placed in Pelophylax (e.g. Kokarit Frog, "P." lateralis).

The yellow-spotted tree frog is pale green with bronze patches that highlight dark spots. It has entirely webbed toes and is set apart from other frogs by the cream markings on its thighs.

[10] They are nocturnal [5] and come out in early evenings to call (in spring and summer) and hunt for food.
