General Description

Arizona Treefrog (Hyla wrightorum) is a medium-sized (6 cm), pale green frog that is distributed throughout the mountains of Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, and northern Mexico. They inhabit montane streams, wet meadows, cienegas, ditches, and livestock tanks in woodlands and forests above 1,524 m. The treefrog is vulnerable to climate change due to associated reduction in habitat, desiccation, and high severity wildfire.
