YAYA FROGGIE



















A tree frog belongs to the tropical rainforest biome. Rainforest tree frogs live specifically in the canopy of the rainforests, where they find adequate moisture and protection.
They are uniformly small, and most are brilliantly colorful for camoflage in the bright plants. Some rainforest frogs have toxic oil on their skin for self defense. Tree frogs across the world have developed suction cup-like toes for climbing vertical surfaces like trees. Rainforest tree frogs live in the vegetation of the trees, seeking protection, camouflage and food sources.





As a result of the crowded growing conditions, canopy trees only branch near the top of their long, pole-like trunks (which also make them good for timber). Since there is no shortage of sunlight for the uppermost leaves of canopy trees, the exposed leaves are generally small and waxy to retain water.
