Lifespan/Longevity
Little is known about the lifespan of Pacific treefrogs, either in the wild or in captivity. There is record of a captive Pacific treefrog that lived for 9 years. Other chorus frogs in the genus Pseudacris have an average lifespan of approximately 5 years in the wild. Closely related mountain chorus frogs P. brachyphona live for approximately 7 years in the wild.
