Many treefrogs live in shrubs and trees all summer, after breeding in temporary ponds in the spring. They are often tiny and well camouflaged, making them very difficult to find. Treefrogs are found in every province, although they are not native to Newfoundland. They are also found in the southern part of the Northwest Territories. The mental image most people have of a frog is of the true frog Family.
True frogs are relatively large with long legs and webbed hind feet.
They are good jumpers and generally the adults are truly amphibious. In Canada, True frogs vary in size from the Wood Frog which is less than 6 cm in body length to the massive Bullfrog which can grow to over 15 cm long. True frogs are found in every province and territory in Canada. True Toad Plump, with rough warty skin, members of the toad Family are found all across Canada. When attacked, the toad secretes a white substance from these glands which gets into the mouth of any would-be predator.
