Hyla arenicolor- Canyon Tree Frog

[Shawnee]

hi, i'm new to this site, but i thought it would be good to ask some questions about a frog my sister found. i looked up pictures on google and found out that it VERY CLOSELY resembles a canyon tree frog. i am sure this is the right species, but i found it near the IN/MI state line, so i would like to know how this frog(which is native in the southern states) ended up here. thanks!

Shawnee it's a Gray Tree Frog. They look very similar to Canyon Tree Frogs. As the only person on here who has seen the two in person I can vouch for that.

Here's a Canyon Tree Frog, Hyla arenicolor. As you can see, it is very similar to a Gray Tree Frog:

Very cute John! I find myself wanting one now... especially after hearing their call:

it sounds like a cheezey sound effect from a low budget sci-fi film from the 60's. Sweet.

I found four in the past two days in Zion's national park. You can't take them from there so I went and caught two at Red Cliffs Recreation Area.
