Baja California Treefrog

Pseudacris hypochondriaca

Baja California Treefrog

A small treefrog of Baja California and southern California, often found around stream edges, seasonal pools, chaparral washes, and damp vegetation. It feeds on tiny insects and other invertebrates, catching them with a fast, sticky tongue. Males are famous for their loud, familiar “ribbit” calls given from breeding pools after rains. Its color can vary from gray or brown to greenish tones, helping it blend with rocks, bark, and leaves.
