Fun Frog Facts:

Spring Peeper
- Hearing the call of the Spring Peeper is the unofficial start to spring in most of the Eastern US, with their breeding season beginning earlier than most.
 American Bullfrog
- Will eat anything it can swallow, including Western native frogs such as the Leopard Frog and the Oregon Spotted Frog.
Gray Treefrog
- Also known as the Eastern Gray Treefrog, can only be told apart from its identical looking cousin, the Cope's Gray Treefrog, by their calls.
 Green Frog
- Vary in color between green, brown and bronze, which sometimes leads to confusion in the southern part of its range that there are two separate species, the Green Frog and the Bronze Frog. In reality, they are the same.
