Savigny’s treefrog

Also known as the Lemon-yellow tree frog, the Middle East tree frog

Guy Haimovitch

A quick look at the animal will tell you right away where the frog gets the word “lemon” in its name, and typically the frog is yellowish to light green in color, but variations of brown and straw coloration also exist. Its overall coloration depends on factors such as the external temperature and the color of the substrate that it lives on.

This frog, unlike most amphibians, can live in places that are very hot and dry. Unless it is the breeding season, this frog hides during the day and moves around at night. Adult frogs eat arthropods, for example, insects, and tadpoles eat plants and animals.
