Red-eyed tree frog
Agalychnis callidryas
The Dazzling Red-Eyed Tree Frog (Central/South America)
Meet the Red-Eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidryas)! Represented by the cool blue pieces in our game, these vibrant frogs are true rainforest gems. They hang out in the humid lowlands and rainforests mainly in Central America and parts of South America.
Nature’s Alarm System: When startled, this frog doesn’t just freeze – it flashes its brilliant red eyes, shows off its bright orange webbed feet, and reveals stunning blue and yellow stripes down its sides. This sudden burst of color is meant to shock and confuse predators, giving the frog just enough time to make a quick getaway!
Leafy Nurseries: Forget pond scum! Female Red-Eyed Tree Frogs are super creative moms, laying their eggs on the underside of leaves that hang right over water. When the tiny tadpoles hatch, they simply drop down into the water below to continue growing. How’s that for a grand entrance?
