![]() ![]() |
The Cascades Frog is a medium sized frog attaining lengths of up to 3 inches. They are usually some shade of brown with black markings on their dorsal surface often well defined as in the specimen above. The spots on the dorsal surface do not always show up, however, as in the specimens below. However, they usually do have a dark mask that runs from the tip of their snout to their forelimbs much like the Wood Frog (Rana sylvatica). |
