Lowland Burrowing Treefrog

The Lowland Burrowing Treefrog (Smilisca fodiens) is one of Arizona's most unique inhabitants calling the low desert of south central Arizona home. It emerges only for the summer monsoon rains to breed in temporary puddles of water where a large number of frogs can be found in a single pool creating a chorus that can be heard from a very far distance. Here is a loud chorus heard following a heavy monsoon storm!
