Red-eyed tree frogs are named for their large, bulging red eyes. They prefer rainforest areas close to rivers. They grow to 2-3 inches (5-8 cm), eat bugs, and have powerful long-jumping legs with suction cups on the toes. They are nocturnal, which means they are active during the night and sleep during the day.

  • Eyes: Bright red eyes may startle predators.
  • Skin: Its body is bright green, and the sides are blue with pale yellow stripes.
  • Feet: Each foot has toes with a sticky pad at the end that is used for climbing.
