00:00The squirrel tree frog, Hylusquerella, is a small species of tree frog that is native to
00:05the southeastern United States, ranging from Texas to Virginia. This species has also been
00:10introduced to the Bahamas. The squirrel tree frog is a small frog, typically measuring between 1.5
00:16to 2 inches in length. They are known for their bright green color, which can sometimes change
00:21to dull brown or gray depending on environmental conditions. This ability to change color helps
00:27them blend into their surroundings and avoid predators. These frogs have a distinct call
00:32that sounds like a duck's quack. This call is often heard during warm, wet nights when the frogs are
00:37most active. They are nocturnal creatures, spending the day hiding in tree holes, under bark, or in
00:43other secluded spots. At night, they emerge to hunt for food, primarily eating insects. The squirrel tree
00:50frog is an excellent climber, thanks to its sticky toe pads. They are often found in trees, hence their
00:57name, but they can also be found in a variety of other habitats. They are known to inhabit forests,
01:03swamps, marshes, and even urban areas. In fact, they are quite common in urban environments,
01:09especially in Florida, and can often be found around homes and buildings. Despite their small size,
01:15these frogs play a crucial role in the ecosystem. They help to control insect populations by feeding on
01:21them. Additionally, they serve as a food source for a variety of predators, including snakes, birds,
01:27and larger frogs. The squirrel tree frog breeds in the spring and summer months. Females lay their eggs
01:34in temporary pools of water, where the eggs will hatch into tadpoles. These tadpoles will then undergo
01:39metamorphosis, transforming into adult frogs. In terms of conservation, the squirrel tree frog is listed
01:46as a species of least concern. This means that they are not currently facing any major threats.
01:52However, like all amphibians, they are sensitive to changes in their environment and can be affected
01:57by pollution, habitat loss, and climate change.
