Mediterranean tree frog


The Mediterranean tree frog, or stripeless tree frog, is a species of frog found in south-west Europe and north-west Africa. It resembles the European tree frog, but is larger, has longer hind legs, and the flank stripe only reaches to the front legs. The croaking resembles that of H. arborea, but it is deeper and slower.
The Hyla meridionalis generally breed from the end of March through the beginning of July; their breeding is dependent on a few variables, including water availability. This tree frog species has a larval period of 15 days.

Distribution

This frog is found in central and southern Portugal, Spain, southern France, northern Italy, Morocco, northern Algeria and northern Tunisia. It also has ancient introduced populations in Madeira and the Canary Islands and a recent introduction in Menorca.
