[1] [2] It is the only ranid frog found in Australia. [3] In Australia, the species is restricted to the rainforest of northern Queensland and the eastern border of Arnhem Land, in the Northern Territory. In Australia, it is usually known as wood frog [4] [5] [6] (though in North America this would refer to Lithobates sylvaticus) or sometimes ...
The wood frog has a complex lifecycle that depends on multiple habitats, damp lowlands, and adjacent woodlands. Their habitat conservation is, therefore, complex, requiring integrated, landscape-scale preservation. [1] Wood frog development in the tadpole stage is known to be negatively affected by road salt contaminating freshwater ecosystems ...
Wood frogs have managed to survive further north than any other North American amphibian which reduces the competition they have to face for food and resources. However, they are a cold-blooded ...
Frogs are extremely efficient at converting what they eat into body mass. They are an important food source for predators and part of the food web dynamics of many of the world's ecosystems. The skin is semi-permeable, making them susceptible to dehydration, so they either live in moist places or have special adaptations to deal with dry habitats.

The diet of Cope's gray treefrog primarily consists of insects such as moths, mites, spiders, plant lice, and harvestmen. Snails have also been observed as a food source. Like most frogs, Dryophytes chrysocelis is an opportunistic feeder and may also eat smaller frogs, including other treefrogs. [24]
True frogs is the common name for the frog family Ranidae. They have the widest distribution of any frog family. They are abundant throughout most of the world, occurring on all continents except Antarctica. The true frogs are present in North America, northern South America, Europe, Africa (including Madagascar), and Asia.
The underside of the frog is lighter in color than the back, ranging from pale yellow to white. [10] [14] Younger frogs have brighter colors. [13] The fingers are long and slender. The first finger is longer than the second, and the third finger is longer than the snout; the tubercles on the undersides of the fingers are moderately sized. [12]
