Tree Frogs Quiz – Frogs of the Treetops

Tree frogs are frogs that live mostly in trees and shrubs. There are around 800 species in the main tree frog family alone, found in the Americas, Australia, Europe and Asia, and many more in other families.

Their sticky toe pads, long legs and light bodies make them excellent climbers. Many are bright green for camouflage, while others use flashes of color to scare predators. Some glide between trees and others lay eggs in foam nests or in tiny pools inside plants.

Tree frogs depend on healthy forests and clean water. Deforestation, pollution and the chytrid fungus threaten many species. Rainforest protection in places like Costa Rica helps tree frogs and countless other animals that share their homes.
