Frogs









Family: Hylidae
Tree frogs


These little frogs use their very distinctive call when the rain is due with a joyous clamour during a downpour and an eerie call thereafter.

At home they love lounging in the rose buds and blooms or using the 5000lt rainwater tank as a 'loudspeaker'











Tree frogs belong to the amphibian family Hylidae. This large family, ranging from North America to as far as Asia, has a number of different species, varying from the Poison Dart Frog to the Waxy Tree Frog.
