Green Tree Frogs
| Green Tree Frogs Size: Small and slender and have long legs. Appearance: Green with a lighter green stripe down each side of their body (however not found on all tree frogs). Some times are found a darker shade of green or even brown. They can change color. Diet: Bugs can grow to sizes large enough to eat small rodents. Habitat: North America (around Florida and other wet tropical areas) and in South America. They need high humidity areas to survive. Behavior: This species climb on low-lying plants. They have pads on their toes that help cushion the abrupt “take-off” stress when they jump. These frogs, at night, communicate by “barking”. Reproduction: The eggs are placed in water. When they hatch the baby frogs have no legs or lungs. Instead they have a tail and gills like fish. At this stage they are called tadpoles. Depending upon the temperature and the P.H. level of the water they may never turn into frogs. |
