Mississippi hosts several frog species in its swamps, rivers and backyards. The most common include the American green tree frog, bullfrog and southern leopard frog. These amphibians thrive in warm, humid conditions with plenty of water.
What frogs are native to Mississippi?
The state supports around 20 frog species. Residents often encounter the American green tree frog with its bright color and white stripe. Bullfrogs grow large and produce deep calls at night. Southern leopard frogs show spotted patterns along their backs.
How can you tell these frogs apart?
Check size first. Bullfrogs reach six inches while tree frogs stay under two. Listen for calls too. Green tree frogs chirp like birds. Look at markings next. Leopard frogs have dark spots and green tree frogs show a white jaw line.
Where do Mississippi frogs live?
Most stay near ponds, ditches and wooded wetlands. Bullfrogs prefer deep water. Tree frogs climb reeds and low branches. They all need moisture to breed in spring and summer.
