State Amphibian
 |
|
Amphibian is an adult
word for frogs, toads, and salamanders. This Arizona Treefrog is the state amphibian. It
is small, usually 3/4 to 2 inches long, a little larger than the size of a quarter. Most
are green but some can be gold colored. Can you see a dark stripe that starts at its nose
and runs through the eye? The stripe ends just before the rear legs. |

What is a symbol?
| Many states have
symbols. A
symbol can be a thing or object that stands for something.
Symbols can paint a picture in your
mind about a state.
If you use your imagination, you can
see Arizona's symbols in the desert or in the mountains.
Each symbol was picked to show that
Arizona is different from other states. |
