The timing and nature of these behaviors can vary widely depending on the species of frog, their geographic location, and the environmental conditions in which they live. In conservation breeding programs like that for the Oregon spotted frog at WPC&#8217;s facility at the Greater Vancouver Zoo, making sure we get these timings and habitat features right ensures our programs success and the production of thousands of tadpoles for release.<\/p>\n<p>Breeding season begins with male frogs will calling out to females using a distinctive mating call, which for Oregon spotted frogs sounds very much like someone knocking at a door, like they are saying \u201chello ladies!

The location is often the same or close year after year. Females choose a warm shallow area, often supported from below by submerged vegetation. The floating rafts of eggs maintained close to the waters surface, help to keep the eggs in the warmest part of the water while allowing the egg mass jelly to act like a mini greenhouse keeping the eggs and tadpoles even warmer.<\/p>\n<p>Once the eggs have been laid, the adult Oregon spotted frogs role in the breeding process is usually complete. The adults typically leave the breeding habitat and return to her normal habitat, leaving the eggs to hatch and develop on their own. As the tadpoles develop those on the top of the egg mass hatch first. As they grow and the tadpoles below them begin to hatch they slowly eat their way through the jelly mass. By the tame the break through the bottom of the jelly mass to swim out into the open pond, they are larger and strong enough to maintain themselves in the water column.<\/p>\n<p>Frog breeding is an amazing process that is essential to the survival of these important and unique creatures. By understanding the behaviors and adaptations that enable frogs to reproduce successfully, we can work to restore populations of these amazing animals for future generations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-1c28nfn-b43226128f209289cfc90758c79f8147 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  blog-inner avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-39299'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-rs2n4z-8fed8e8a96cdfebce06b2081ea3cf81e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-13  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lhhwhp6e-f304a75106673aca766fed47dd3dd4dd'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Andrea Gielens<\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">Lead Biologist &#8211; Fraser Valley Wetlands Wildlife<\/h5>\n<p>Andrea manages WPC&#8217;s captive breeding and release programs for the Oregon spotted frog and the coastal western painted turtle.
