Abstract
The jumping directions of 24 individual Pacific tree frogs (Hyla regilla), in response to repeated presentations of a model predator, were recorded. The mean jump angle was 70° from the frog's initial bearing regardless of whether the jump was to the left or the right. There was a slight bias within the sample towards left jumps, and most frogs had longer right than left hindlimbs. Some individual frogs jumped preferentially to the left, indicating the existence of 'handedness' in this species.
