About the Pig frog
The Pig frog is a amphibian in the family Ranidae (order Anura). Its conservation status on the IUCN Red List is “least concern”.
What does the Pig frog sound like?
Male frogs and toads call by pushing air over their vocal cords into a vocal sac that acts as a resonator. Each species has its own call, so choruses can be identified by ear – and calling peaks on warm, wet nights.
The recordings here are labelled as pigfrog evergladesnp. Listen for differences in rhythm, pitch and repetition – the spectrum display makes it easy to see whether a sound is a pure whistle (a thin line), a harsh call (a broad band) or a trill (rapid repeated marks).
