Herpetofauna: One Life's List

Down in southern Illinois I have seen plenty of what I think are integrades between Bronze Frogs and Green Frogs.  They're usually a muddy brown with perhaps some green here and there, and their bellies are sometimes mottled, sometimes fairly plain.

It took a visit to Reelfoot Lake to see some 'true' Bronze Frogs, pictured at the right.
