The #wild-man is also friends with some pretty cool frogs!
The Gray Tree Frog (Hyla versicolor) is a pretty amazing tree frog. It is an arboreal frog that spends a lot of its adult life up in the trees. Often, it can be found at heights over 20 feet.
The color-changing camouflage capabilities of this frog are also incredible. It can change through many shades and combinations of green and gray. The inside of the rear legs also have an amazing yellow color.
Their spot in the food chain puts them right above the insects that they eat and right below the snakes, birds, smaller mammals, and large frogs that eat them. Also, since they are not an aquatic species, they hibernate on land by replacing the water in their vital organs with glycerols, so that over 75% can actually freeze for the winter!
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

Great camouflaging ability. That frog matches the tree and we only know there's a frog there because you mentioned it. We learn and get to see so much through your blog posts.

So cool. :) I miss living in a place where there are frogs. There's literally NONE where I live now. When I was a kid I used to have so much fun watching them and catching (and releasing) them haha.

Very cool. We have Colorado River Toads here in Tucson that show up when the rains come. We get them in our yard and one of our dogs will lick one every chance she gets, and doing so makes her "high" for lack of a better word. She'll wander around the house for 30 minutes or so after that. It's very strange-and she must like it because she does it every chance she gets. She's 13 years old and has been doing that every summer for as long as I can remember.
Thank you for your posts! It's always great to hear about the creatures living among us.

Saw my first Gray Tree Frog a few years ago and was absolutely positive I had found some new species.
It's hard to believe how much their appearance changes and how big they grow from such tiny little frogs.
@herpetologyguy posted an interesting piece about the way they pick up chicks about a week ago.

Hi! Actually that's what I came to say, since it has been some time since we've crossed paths ;) I took a peek down your page and Awesome papa! I'm so happy for you!
I thought of you because the last time I saw a meetup post was when you were with stellabelle and company. I finally got to do a meetup, and wow what an experience! If you get a moment, i would love for you to read it.
