the call i like the best is one from ranidae i think, that sounds like someone badly strumming a banjo.

how does your team study for calls?

some good links are:

http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/s ... Calls.html
http://www.naturesound.com/frogs/frogs.html
http://amphibiaweb.org/resources/frogcalls.html

and then u just record what they sound like in words. put it on a couple post its on ur field guide

ok
we study by just listening and memorizing

Are there any frogs that exist except frog calls? For example, are there any lizard calls we have to memorize?


thnx. And thank you for posting the frog calls.

i know geckos can make this weird sort of noise but I'm not sure of ne other lizard calls

I don't really think there's anything else. Sure, all animals make noises, but frog calls are very distinctive.

the only lizard that makes a sound are tokay geckos and they are really easy to tell
they sound like something is dieing

A lot of different geckos make different sounds. Tokay geckos go to-kay! Some others go geck-o! Many others make different sounds. However you probably won't get ANY calls, though I wouldn't be surprised to hear them at nationals. If you do get calls, they will most likely be frog calls. Also know how to recognise vocalizations of geckos, crocodylians, and anything else, but concentrate on frogs.
