About

The Mediterranean tree frog, or stripeless tree frog, is a species of frog found in south-west Europe and north-west Africa. It resembles the European tree frog, but is larger, has longer hind legs, and the flank stripe only reaches to the front legs. The croaking resembles that of H. arborea, but it is deeper and slower.

Fun Fact

Mediterranean tree frogs are so adept at climbing that they can scale vertical glass surfaces and walk across ceilings using their adhesive toe pads.
