Discovery Scope & Sculpture — Pacific Chorus Frog

Pacific Chorus Frog Discovery Scope & Sculpture: The Pacific Chorus Frog (Pseudacris regilla) is one of the most abundant amphibians that can be found on the west coast of North America, dwelling in habitats such as redwood forests and deserts. Pacific chorus frogs typically stay in undisturbed areas near water. Their San Francisco Bay Area population has been reduced to a tiny fraction of its size in the last 60 years, primarily due to development and other human impacts.This amphibian has two distinct features that separate it from other frogs: its toepads and a dark stripe that extends from its nose through its eye and down its body. An adult frog is usually 1-2 inches long (3-4.5 cm). Their colors range from lime green to brown and they have the ability to camouflage themselves. During the mating season, gender can be distinguished by looking at the color of their throats; males have a dark brown or yellow throat while females have white throats.
