A Pacific Tree Frog? In Texas? by louannwarren

A Pacific Tree Frog? In Texas?

This guy swam the length of our pool a couple times before Jerry finally scooped him up and set him on the grass to dry out. He sat there for a long time. There must be a million different frogs but his markings closely resemble the Pacific Tree Frog the most. If he really is that type of frog he’s at least 2,000 miles from home! For the word “wild” this month.
He's so cute, I love frogs

I would find it very strange that a frog could be 2,000 miles off course. Birds maybe- carried by a storm off their usual flight pattern- but frogs? I don't even think they migrate. So if he really is a Pacific Tree Frog, he might have been someone's pet that escaped somehow. You'll have to watch your pool because he'll need to moisten his skin again at some point! Good shot!

Well spotted, Lou Ann, and he is a cool looking frog. Great capture.

@olivetreeann I thought about that, I think I will put a clay plant saucer out with water in it.

@koalagardens I thought I would call the Dallas Zoo tomorrow!

@louannwarren will be interesting to know if he is just an escaped pet or if there is something froggy going on ;)

@louannwarren Good idea- hopefully he'll find that more appealing than your clorinated pool!
