Hyla savignyi, also known as the Savigny's treefrog, lemon-yellow tree frog,[2][3] and Middle East tree frog,[4] is a species of frog in the family Hylidae.[2] The species is endemic to the Middle East, where it has been declared an endangered species.
Etymology
The specific name, savignyi, is in honor of French zoologist Marie Jules César Savigny.[3]
Geographic range
It is found in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Egypt, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen
Habitat
The natural habitats of the Middle East tree frog are temperate shrubland, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, temperate grassland, subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland, rivers, freshwater lakes, intermittent freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, freshwater springs, temperate desert, arable land, rural gardens, canals and ditches, and introduced vegetation.
