Field Notes
Description:
Red-Eyed Tree Frogs will grow to be 2 cm (males) and 3 -4 cm
(females) in length. The Red-Eyed Tree Frog is well known for
its bulging red eyes and beautiful blue streaks and orange toes.
When the Tree Frog sleeps it hides its sharp colors, but if it
runs from a predator the bright colors 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.
Habitat:
The Red-Eyed Tree Frog is located in Southern Mexico, Central
America including but not limited to Costa Rica, Honduras and
Panama, and northern South America.Red-Eyed Tree Frogs inhabit lowland rainforest areas near
ponds, streams and rivers. The Red-Eyed Tree Frog will be
found near water sources that its offspring, tadpoles, will need to
survive.
