The Pacific Tree Frog (Pseudacris regilla) is a species of tree frogs. They live in the West Coast of the United States. These include California, Oregon and Washington state. They also live in British Columbia and Canada. They live on the ground, but some have been found living in places 10,000 feet above sea level. They are the only frogs to make a "rabbit" sound.[1] They are either green or brown. They can also change their colors.
