The jumping frog belongs to a group of frogs in the order Anura, a family called Hylidae. The name "jumping frog" comes from the excellent jumping ability and the habit of moving around in trees. Jumping frogs have a small, agile body with long front and hind limbs for jumping and crawling in trees. The skin is smooth or somewhat granular and comes in a variety of colors, which can be green, brown, gray, and so on. This color variation helps in camouflage in trees and vegetation.
