Pickerel frogs are explosive jumpers. They jump so quickly that their orange patches on their thighs flash predators so that they can get away. When they are stressed, they are toxic to other species of frogs. They range throughout the United States and Canada. Hope you enjoy my photos. Devin's Nature Blog.

These pictures are spectacular! I especially love the second one. How are these frogs toxic when stressed? Do they spray something noxious?
