Diet
Cajun chorus frog primarily subsists on a diet of small invertebrates, particularly arthropods. Its preferred food items include spiders, beetles, and ants, which it actively hunts during the night.
Appearance
Cajun chorus frog is a small frog species with smooth, moist skin. It includes darkly marked specimens with accents of green or brown, and is uniquely characterized by a distinctive dark patch running from each eye to the hind limbs. These markings provide excellent camouflage in their natural environments. Males and females look alike, with no notable differences between them.
Behavior
Cajun chorus frog is characterized by nocturnal, arboreal tendencies, showing an aptitude for agile vertical movement in its natural tree-based habitat. As solitary creatures, they are territorially aggressive, with males defending spaces vociferously. Their vocalization, especially prominent during their mating ritual, distinguishes them among other species. Adapted for survival, their cryptic coloration provides excellent camouflage within the leafy environment.
