More often heard than seen, these very small, pale-brown frogs can be recognized by the X-shaped mark on their backs. #WildlifeWednesday | NYS Department of Environmental Conservation | Facebook

🔊🐸 Spring peepers are known for their high-pitched mating call, a sound they repeat about 20 times a minute. But did you know that the faster and louder they sing, the better the chances of attracting a mate? 💕 What do you think about this peeper’s chances? #WildlifeWednesday | West Virginia Division of Natural Resources
