The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The grey treefrog is an amphibian of the bark: its mottled grey skin makes it invisible on tree trunks, and only when it jumps does it show bright orange patches on the inner surface of its thighs. It survives the winters of north-eastern North America by partly freezing, using glycerol as an antifreeze.
