Hylidae

Picture
Tree Frogs

These are the tree frogs, a wide-spread family especially well represented in the New World. Hylids range from small to large in size and usually have distinct adhesive toe discs that contain a cartilage offsetting the terminal phalanx (the intercalary cartilage), which may aid in climbing. Many reproductive modes are found in this family. Hylidae is one of the largest families of anurans with over 800 species recognized.
