RAINFOREST FROGS

There are hundreds of species of rainforest frogs. Many of them are being eliminated due to the deforestation that is taking place. Some of the rainforest frogs are very different to each other from their call to the way they look and more. Several of these different frogs are the Northern Red-eyed Tree Frog, the Striped Marsh Frog, the Northern Barred Frog, and another interesting one is the Nursery Frog.

The Northern Red Eyed Tree frog is one of many of the tree frog species. It is called a tree frog because it calls from the lower branches of trees and shrubs. These are very bright frogs with colors from a lime green and lemon yellow body, to golden yellow and bright orange eyes, a defined white stripe on its lower lip and a white underside. The Red Eyed Tree Frog’s calls sounds like an “Aaaarrrk” and lasts approximately two seconds and sounds similar to a dog barking. These frogs will call for twelve hours straight. These frogs are the largest tree frogs.

Another one of the many rainforest frogs is the Striped Marsh Frog. This frog is light brownish grey with many dark stripes and spots, brown in color. The Striped Marsh Frog may only grow a couple of inches and its calling sounds as if a hammer is pounding on a nail.

The Northern Barred Frog is known to call during the daytime and it sounds like a soft and quiet purring. Shallow rocky streams is a favorite spot for these frogs but also can be found in the heavy wet rainforest. These frogs are most well-known for their powerful webbed feet and how far and high they can jump. Some of these frogs have been known to reach about 10 centimeters, but the average is nine.

The Nursery Frogs weren’t given a name yet. These rainforest frogs stay pretty small and don’t reach a large size at full growth. What makes them unique is their calling sounds like a bird chirping. Funny enough, they are very hard to spot with the eyes, even while they are chirping strongly.

There are tons of different types of rainforest frogs. Several unique frogs that reside in the rainforest are the Nursery Frogs, the Northern Red Eye Tree Frog, and the Striped Marsh Frog.
