Pine Barrens Treefrog

Hyla andersonii from North Carolina. These small treefrogs are poorly known. They're known from three disjunct populations - one the the New Jersey pine barrens, one in the sandhills region of North Carolina and South Carolina, and one around the Florida/Alabama border. They specialize by breeding in/around seepage bogs during the early summer, though little else is known about their reproduction. Much of their habitat has been destroyed by draining for agriculture and development or degraded by fire suppression.
