What Is a Gray Tree Frog?
The gray tree frog is a nocturnal amphibian that typically grows up to two inches (about five cm.) long. Shifty creatures able to camouflage themselves, the frogs often make their homes in trees to avoid being dinner for birds, snakes, and mammals. The gray tree frog often makes its habitat in wooded areas, typically near rivers and creeks. Varying in color from green, gray, or brown in appearance, the tree frog has spots on its back, warts on its white underside, and yellow or orange thighs. In just a matter of seconds, the frog is able to alter its color to match the color of tree bark. To help with climbing trees and other surfaces, the creature possesses sticky toe pads that act like suction cups.
