European Tree Frog (Hyla arborea)
This small frog is widely distributed throughout Europe from the Ukraine and Belarus to the Balkan, Crete, Italy, the Benelux, Germany, most of France and the northwestern Iberian peninsula (absent in the British Isles, the majority of Scandinavia and Denmark, the Alps and small northern parts of the Netherlands and Germany).
Its skin color ranges from bright to olive green, grey, brown and yellow. The smooth, shining, usually leaf-green back and the white-yellowish to grey belly are separated by a dark stripe on its flank reaching from the nostrils, over the eye and the eardrum, to the groin, contrasting the green, and forming a dark spot near the hips.
This is the only arboreal Amphibian species that is found in Europe.
In French, it is called 'rainette', in Spanish and Italian 'rana', in Portuguese 'ră'.
