Red-eye Tree Frog by Ian.Kate.Bruce's Wildlife

Red-eye Tree Frog A spectacularly beautiful and engaging frog whose usual habitat is the forest canopy but who descends for mating during the rainy season when they locate beside temporary rainforest pools. There they lay and care for eggs on leaves overhanging the pool so that when tadpoles hatch, after about five to eight days, they fall to the pool, develop into frogs in another eighty days and are ready for the high life in the rainforest canopy. Photographed on a night walk in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica. By: Ian.Kate.Bruce's Wildlife
