The California red-legged frog is a rare amphibian species found almost exclusively in the state of California. It’s well-known for being the frog featured in Mark Twain's short story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and is named for the reddish coloring on the underside of its legs and belly. The frog’s back and head can range from red to brown or gray. Its back and the top of its legs are covered in small black spots and large dark blotches. Typically the frog’s face has a dark mask and a light-colored stripe above the jaw that extends to the shoulder. The frog also has folds running down the side of its back, rough skin, and partially webbed toes. It is the largest native frog in the western United States and is usually two to five inches (5 to 12 centimeters) long.
