Tree frog
The tree frog is a real "climber" that spends most of its life high up in the vegetation. Its body structure is designed accordingly: the toes have adhesive discs on the tips and the flattened ventral side allows it to cling directly to the ground. Tree frogs primarily colonise
River valleys with their floodplains, moist deciduous and mixed forests with pools or ponds. It needs clean pools, ponds, oxbow lakes or bays in river floodplains with abundant aquatic vegetation as spawning waters. In the mountains, it can be found north of the Alps up to around 600 metres, south of the Alps up to around 800 metres.
- The tree frogs have so-called satellite males. They approach quietly, without the other, loudly calling males hearing them, and mate with the females.
