Rio Grande Chirping Frogs 🐸 #frog


Chirping frogs are an introduced species in east Texas and do not reproduce like most native frogs in the United States do. They call from very inconspicuous and seemingly random elevated locations in small trees and shrubbery. They do this because they don't lay their eggs in water. Instead, they lay the eggs in foam-like nests they create up in the trees and shrubs they call from. If that wasn't strange enough, they don't have a tadpole stage either. They go straight from the egg stage to the frog stage in their metamorphosis. 🎥: Ranger Eric Learn more: https://tinyurl.com/mrx4dw2d #texas #texasoutdoors #wildlifeconservation #frogs #ríogrande #chirpingfrogs #amphibian #amphibians #Eleutherodactylus #texasstateparks
