Frog Pictures

Frogs are cold-blooded amphibians found in most temperate and tropical areas of the world.

About ninety native native frog and toad species call the United States home, with many other non-native species kept as pets.

The warm and moist climate of the Southeast makes for a hospitable frog habitat and explains the region's high frog diversity. North Carolina, for example, is home to thirty different species.

The vast majority of frog and toad species found in the United States fit into one of three different families: Bufonidae (true toads); Hylidae (tree frogs); Ranidae (true frogs).

This album provides pictures and descriptions of a representative example of each types.
