Green Treefrog, Hyla cinerea
The green treerog is found in the saw palmettos and in holes in the oak trees around the permanent freshwater pond in the live oak hammock in Fort Matanzas National Monument. It is bright green with a sharply defined white stripe on the upper lip and along the side of the body. During the summer, males gather on vegetation around ponds where their loud 'quank', 'quank' chorus attracts females. Their large toepads make climbing easy.
