The California tree frog is a small frog from the tree frog family. It lives in rocky areas of California and can stay away from water for a long time.
The California tree frog differs from related species by its ability to live in dry rocky places and change skin color for camouflage. It is important to nature as an insect hunter and food for snakes, birds, and mammals.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
