American green tree frog

The green treefrog is a bright green or sometimes reddish-brown amphibian that hops through trees in the southeastern U.S. It comes out at night to hunt insects and hides near water where it breeds. You might spot one by its yellow speckles or hear its croaky call when it's defending its leafy home.

• Changes color from green to reddish-brown depending on its surroundings.
• Jumps into water or climbs trees to escape predators.
• Males fight over territory with calls or wrestling matches.
