Green Treefrog (Hyla cinerea): From Hollywood to Washington Politics

Not only did the green tree frog (Hyla cinerea) make it to the Hollywood Walk of Fame as Kermit the Frog, but this small fellow (about 1-3/8" body size in this case) has been the Louisiana State Amphibian since 1993 when after a heated debate made it as the Louisiana State Amphibian which actually is truly represents a feat, given the multiple species of amphibians that habitat the State of Louisiana. Regardless of their name, green tree frogs can change colors depending on temperature, sexual mood, or dormancy state (they turn gray and sometimes to black when dormant). The Hilton Pond Center has an excellent article about green tree frogs.
