Description
Habitat
Spotted chorus frogs are found from central Kansas, Oklahoma, and northeastern New Mexico to the Gulf of Mexico and Rio Grande valley in Texas and Tamaulipas.[3]
They are normally found in prairie and prairie islands in savannas. During breeding season, they can be found in temporary and semi-permanent ponds, and in marshes, shallow water-lily ponds, roadside ditches, grassy ponds, mesquite ponds, buffalo wallows, flooded fields, and other transient pools.[2]
