Barking Treefrog

Frogs In Central Florida

The Barking Treefrog can be found in sandy areas in pine savannas and in low wet woods and swamps. When inactive during cold or dry seasons,  the barking treefrog burrows under tree roots, vegetation, or in soil. This frog is otherwise mostly arboreal and thus dependent on trees near water.
