The Rainbow Tree Frog

Let’s talk about tree frogs.

First of all, they don’t all live in trees (talk about a misnomer), but are instead identified by their feet! They have toe pads to help them climb and the last bone of their toe is actually shaped like a claw!

Tree frogs can be as little as an inch long and as big as 5.5 inches! They come in a variety of colors, but most of the species in the United States are green, gray, or brown.

There are over 800 species of tree frogs, mostly found in the tropical climates of the western hemisphere. They are considered insectivores and rely on a diet of flies, ants, crickets, beetles, and other small invertebrates.

Amphibians as a whole are on the decline worldwide, due to habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change.
