This is photo of a pine barrens tree frog (Hyla Andersonii) was taken on February 17th in Sanford, N.C. This frog's habitat mainly consists of mossy areas with shallow ponds. Unlike many frogs, pine barrens lay eggs that can tolerate environments with lower pH conditions. This key adaptation allows the pine barrens tree frog to live in relatively acidic ponds, in turn eliminating much competition.
