Tania 22 Red-Eyed Tree Frog

Hi Everyone,
Here is some cool info about Red-Eyed Tree Frog
The Red-Eyed Tree Frog is located in Southern Mexico, Central America, and northern South America.

They are carnivorous and eat mostly insects and will also feed on other smaller frogs.
Red-Eyed Tree Frogs live in lowland rainforest areas near ponds, streams and rivers.

Red-Eyed Tree Frogs will grow to 2 cm (males) and 3-4 cm
(females) in length. It has bulging red eyes, beautiful blue
streaks and orange toes. If it runs from a predator the bright
colours may confuse or disinterest the predator. Like many
Tree Frogs, the Red-Eyed Tree Frog has suction cups on its toes that enable it to climb trees and on leaves.Red-Eyed Tree Frogs will lay clutches of eggs on the underside of leaves that are standing above a water source. When the eggs hatch the fluid that is inside the eggs helps washthe tadpoles down into the water.


Cheers

Tania
