The red eyed tree frog has soft skin so it can absorb water. It has sticky disc on the end of its feet so it can climb trees. The disc on its feet cling to the tree so the frog won't fall to the ground. The red eyed tree frog is an amphibian, with bright colored red eyes, and a creamy brown stomach. Frogs ears are very small, they are also excellent swimmers. |

the LIFE
CYCLE RED EYED TREE FROG
The first thing that happens in a frogs life is the egg laying. The mother frog lays her eggs under water. She lays about 100-200 egg. When they hatch they are not frogs they are tadpoles. They have tails so they can swim. They eat shrubs and weeds (But not all of them survive). After a few weeks the tadpoles grow back legs, Then front legs. The tadpoles are not tadpoles any more they are froglets. Soon they become Red Eyed Tree Frogs!
