  • The American toad (Bufo americanus) is a fairly drought-tolerant species, which will often bury itself during the heat of the day to avoid dehydration.  Its reddish coloration blends in perfectly with the red southern clay.

  • Gray tree frogs (Hyla versicolor) are heard more often than they are seen. They will often call before rain and are rarely seen outside of their breeding season during the months of may to august. They possess amazing cryptic coloration allowing them to pass unoticed to most passerbys.

  • Green Salamanders (Aneides aeneus) are a IUCN red-listed species that are primarily only found in a handful of locations throughout the Southern Appalachian Mountains.  Unlike most salamanders, which prefer very wet habitat, Green Salamanders are often found in moist crevices in granitic outcrops and in trees.

  • The call of Spring Peepers (Hyla crucifer) are often one the first sounds of spring in the eastern United States. They are so sensitive to changes in temperature that calls can sometimes be heard on warm days in late fall. These diminuative tree frogs spend most of their time hidden in moist leaf litter.

  • Prior to becoming mature adults, eastern newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) spend a season or more wandering their native woodlands in an intermediate form known as the eft stage.  Eventually, the efts will return to the water -often the pool of their birth- and become adult newts.

  • Red Salamanders (Pseudotriton ruber) are thick-bodied, brightly colored amphibians found in the eastern, United States. They are mostly terrestrial as adults and spend a great deal of their time hidden beneath moist leaves, logs and in loose soil

  • Northern cricket frogs (Acris repitans) are very small tree frogs, which very rarely spend time in trees but prefer grasses and shrubs near slow flowing, shallow water. They can be indentified by a distinctive Y on their backs.

  • Mountain Dusky Salamanders are members of the plethodons and can be distinguished from the closely related Northern Dusky Salamander by their rounded tails.  The Northern Dusky Salamander has a more keeled tail.
