Random Facts About Reptiles And Amphibians For Kids

Red-eyed Tree Frogs use their big eyes to spot safe places to land, and their sticky toe pads help them grip branches when they jump!

Poison dart frogs use their long tongues to catch prey (animals they eat), and they can strike faster than you can blink!

Basic Information

The Red-Eyed Tree Frog’s scientific name is Agalychnis callidryas, which comes from Greek words meaning “beautiful tree nymph”!

Male Red-eyed Tree Frogs are about one-third smaller than females, making them look like kid versions of the grown-up female frogs!
