REPTILES
The red-eyed treefrog is an arboreal native to rainforests from Mexico through Central America. They are excellent jumpers. They aren’t poisonous but rely on camouflage for protection. During the day they remain motionless, cover their blue sides with their back legs, tuck their bright feet under their bellies, and shut their red eyes. They appear completely green and hidden among the foliage. When it detects an approaching predator, it abruptly opens its eyes hoping to startle the predator getting a chance to flee. The American tree frog is small and easily frightened. They are usually green with large toe pads. They are native to the Southwest.
