What this page adds
The European Tree Frog is typically bright lime green with a smooth back, which can change to shades of brown or grey. It has a distinctive dark stripe running from its nostril, through the eye, and along its flanks to the groin, separating its colored back from a creamy white belly.
Male European Tree Frogs have a vocal sac almost as big as their head!
They can absorb water through their skin, so they don't need to drink!
They hibernate during winter by burying themselves in mud or under leaves!
