CouesWhitetail Report post Posted July 15, 2010 Barking frogs are a very unusual frog that most people never get to hear or see. They normally live in rock crevices and only come out and call for a brief time during the monsoons. I was doing some owl surveys down at Coronado National Memorial down south of Sierra Vista and the timing was just right that I got to hear this interesting frog and see some. here is a short video I made about the frogs...just some info about the frogs and you can hear the call. I guess they are named barking frogs because in TX and NM the call sounds like a series of dog barks, but here in AZ it sounds more like a croak of a raven....it was still very fun to hear! http://www.coueswhitetail.com/video_clips/barking_frog.wmv This is a great time of year to get out and enjoy the amazing variety of frogs, snakes, and toads that come out with the rains.... have you seen an interesting frog or toad lately? Post some pics if you got 'em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Browning'sCustomMeat Report post Posted July 15, 2010 never heard of'em....just barking spiders.... Cool video as always. I don't ever recall hearing or seeing these little guys before. But I'll keep my eyes and ears open now. Very interesting about the tadpoles with no water stage. -Jeremy- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rclouse79 Report post Posted July 15, 2010 I think I have a pack of barking frogs that live under the cushions of my couch. I have not been able to catch one yet, as they are sneaky little buggers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
