Characteristics

Peepers are the smallest of Nova Scotia's frogs and have the loudest call. They are small enough that they could sit comfortably on a loonie. They do not have any webbing on their feet but have little sticky pads on their toes. Peepers can come in a variety of colors from tan, grey, and light brown to dark brown, with a white underside. They have darker markings on their back shaped like an "X" and a slight "V" between their eyes. 

Call

The Spring Peeper is an iconic sound that people associate with the coming of spring and can be heard up to 500m away! Their call consists of several single high-pitched peeps repeated.
