The red-eyed tree frog is one of the most fascinating and popular animals on earth and has become the symbol of the movement to save the world's rainforests. Bright lime green during the day, it changes at night to a dark olive or brown color. Markings vary from simply green with a tan underbelly to elaborate blue sides with bars ranging from yellow to cream.
Feet range in color from egg-yolk yellow to fluorescent orange.
In the daytime, hunched on a leaf with legs and toes neatly tucked underneath and eyes firmly closed, they appear to be greenish lumps, ingeniously adapting to their environment. These rainforest wonders have very coordinated hands and feet. It is one of the many species of tree frogs with adhesive toe pads, allowing them to adhere to the undersides of leaves and crawl up vertical surfaces with relative ease.
