I love canyon tree frogs! I've had a couple encounters that felt special and humorous. Short version: I was observing for a bit and then s/he jumped on me! From near shoulder and then walked on my back.
I spotted one of these beauty's in my yard. ❤❤ my dog booked it with her nose but she's fine she was curious. After I saved it with a sock (makeshift glove and told it to jump the fence) And shortly after one was in my swimming pool swimming with my dad's lol my dad's thought it was a Sonoran desert frog. Lol.
They can! They don't need to stay in/around the water as much as aquatic frogs (like leopard frogs), but they definitely take moments to jump into the water if they're nearby and soak it up before continuing to bask.
Interesting! They're so cute!! Just saw my first one live a few weeks ago in Sabino Canyon. It totally blended in with the reddish brown rock it was on and I didn't see it til it moved. Unfortunately, it was amid a bunch of people at Sabino Dam and got corraled into the water in order to escape the people. Once they are adult, are they adept swimmers in the water?
Oh yes, there are a lot down in Sabino Canyon area. They are good swimmers as adults, and of course lay their eggs in the water - but they do seem to spend a majority of time basking on the rocks near water. Thanks for sharing your first canyon treefrog experience!
@@NaturalHistoryInstitute Thank you for your reply! GOod to know they are adept swimmers as adults. I was worried for that treefrog when it was forced into the water in order to avoid all the people around it.
