The Pickerel Frog, averaging one and a half to three inches in length, is characterized by its smooth, metallic-looking skin with distinct markings. Unlike leopard frogs, it features two rows of square spots down its back, with additional small, square spots on its sides. Its base color ranges from tan to light gray or light brown, and its belly transitions from white at the front to yellow at the rear. Dark bars adorn its back legs, serving as a distinguishing feature from leopard frogs. These frogs prefer moist environments, inhabiting marshes, stream banks, and cool springs, and in summer, they move to damp, grassy fields and meadows. They hibernate from October to March. Male pickerel frogs are known for their distinct calls, which can sound like a snore or a slow, low, steady croak of one to two seconds duration, especially during the egg-laying season when multiple frogs vocalize. Their diet consists of caterpillars, insects, crayfish, and spiders. Pickerel Frogs are found in all of Pennsylvania's counties, making them a common and important part of the state's amphibian population. The document encourages engagement through a coloring activity, implying it is educational material.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":57,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/general/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/pickerel-frog-pas-amphibian-and-reptile-coloring-series/137094/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/pickerel-frog-pas-amphibian-and-reptile-coloring-series/137094.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Rowan","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-20","2026-08-22",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",12,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What are the main physical characteristics of a Pickerel Frog?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"Pickerel frogs are typically one and a half to three inches long with smooth, metallic-looking skin.

I’m a Pickerel Frog. We average from one and a half to three inches long. Our skin is smooth with a metallic look. We are spotted frogs , like leopard frogs , but with different markings. Our base color is tan , light gray to light brown. We have two rows of square spots down our backs , but leopard frogs have round spots that are not in rows. The rows of spots are black , dark brown , or red brown in color. Small, square spots also appear on our sides. Our belly is white up front and yellow toward the rear. Dark bars mark our back legs and help us to look different from leopard frogs. We spend more of our time out of the water than in it. We are at home in marshes, along streams , and around cool springs. In summer , we move into grassy fields or meadows , seeking out damp areas with low plants. We also live in grassy areas along streams and woodland ponds. We hibernate from October until March.  \nOnly male pickerel frogs call. Sometimes , we call underwater and it sounds like a snore. At other times , the calling is done at egg-laying sites with a full chorus of other pickerel frogs emitting a slow, low , steady croak of one to two seconds duration out of our two vocal sacs. We eat caterpillars, insects , crayfish and spiders. We are found in all of Pennsylvania’s counties.  \n[www.fishandboat.com](www.fishandboat.com)","cbCaimFob8yrmgdQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimFob8yrmgdQ","pdf",263310,"English","# Pickerel Frog\n## All About Me\n## Habitat and Behavior\n## Diet and Distribution","[{\"question\":\"What are the main physical characteristics of a Pickerel Frog?\",\"answer\":\"Pickerel frogs are typically one and a half to three inches long with smooth, metallic-looking skin.
