Frogs

Frogs and/or toads are the other iconic symbol for Davis (the more common symbol being a penny-farthing bicycle). Various local artists, including David Gilhooly, Heidi Bekebrede, and others have used this motif. So has Lyon Real Estate in their famous Frog Signs. Davis is also home of the famous Toad Tunnel. Toad Hollow Dog Park is just beyond.

Toads spend most of their time on land while frogs prefer water.

Large numbers of Pacific tree frogs (Pseudacris regilla) can be heard (in mid February) croaking near West Pond.
