R. draytonii looks very similar to the northern red-legged frog.

The northern red-legged frog has long, powerful legs well adapted to jumping.

It was formerly considered a subspecies of the northern red-legged frog (R. aurora).

One goal of this project is to enhance habitat suitable for the endangered Northern Red-legged Frog.

The northern red-legged frog is found in western Oregon, western Washington and southwestern British Columbia, including Vancouver Island.

Other native animals seen at the slough include the Northern red-legged frog, Great Egret and Black-crowned Night Heron.

Reptiles and amphibians can also be found in the parks, with the northwestern ringneck snake, Northern Red-legged Frog, Pacific giant salamander, and the rough-skinned newt most commonly seen.

Other animal species in the park include the Northern Red-legged Frog, Western Gray Squirrel, Northern Alligator Lizard, and the Rubber Boa.

In certain species, such as the Northern red-legged frog (Rana aurora) and the wood frog (Rana sylvatica), symbiotic unicellular green algae are present in the gelatinous material.

Northern red-legged frog (Rana aurora) is a species of amphibian, whose range is the coastal region stretching from southwest British Columbia to Northern California, and is protected in British Columbia, Oregon and California.

The still waters of ponds, marshes or stream pools are essential for northern red-legged frog breeding habitat; moreover, this species of frog is considered unusually highly oriented to its aquatic habitat, with a clear preference for thickly vegetated shoreline.
