The Bronze Frog is a moderately sized frog that is a close relative of the Green Frog. They are native to the Southeastern United States.

Making its home in swamps and marshes, the Bronze Frog is a shy, solitary animal that spends much of its time in logs and thick vegetation. They are rarely seen by humans due to their tendency to hide in vegetation along the edge of the water. Their call is sometimes compared to plucking a bass. It is a single low note. The Bronze Frog will sometimes repeat the call many times in quick succession. The Bronze Frog breeds between April and August.

Averaging between 2 to 3 inches in length, the Bronze Frog gets its name because of the brown or bronze color of its surface. They have dorsal ridges from the head to mid-body. Males have a larger tympanic membrane than females. They are closely related to and similar in appearance to the Green Frog, which is slightly larger. The two can be distinguished by the dark spots that the Green Frog has on its surface. Its body is shaped like a Bullfrog's.

The Bronze Frog lives in the Southeastern United States. They are common in Eastern Texas and their range extends along the Gulf of Mexico to Southern South Carolina and Northern Florida.
