Description
A Pacific Tree Frog creeps over the edge of a glass vase. The male frog’s dark gold throat is its vocal sack, which puffs out when it vocalizes. Despite its small size, this little frog is a prodigious noisemaker. The calling of the males, which can be heard nearly a mile away, is used to attract mates and ward off other males. Frog music is heard most often in the spring, but treefrogs vocalize all year unless the temperature dips below freezing. Interestingly, the frogs coordinate their vocalizations, creating a frog chorus. One male acts as the “chorus master” and starts calling. Other males in the vicinity gradually join in as the chorus swells.
