Pacific chorus frog

The Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacrus regilla) is the pop star of the frog world. Every spring males find a breeding pond and sing to attract females - almost as if saying 'how you doing' as loud as possible. With so many males competing to attract a mate, their singing can be surprisingly loud. Even more surprising is the Pacific chorus frog is no bigger than five centimetres in length, making their considerable voice all the more impressive. Though the Pacific chorus frogs are most vocal in the spring while breeding, they can still be heard the rest of the year singing in rainstorms.
