Athens News Matters: Cuban Tree Frogs

The first Cuban Tree Frogs, larger than native tree frog species, were spotted in Georgia over a decade ago.

Daniel Sollenberger (Department of Natural Resources) and Dr. John Maerz (Josiah Meigs Distinguished Professor, Wildlife) join us to explain how this invasive species ended up in our ecosystem and the impacts they have had since their arrival.
