Reptiles And Amphibians - Facts for Kids

Red-eyed Tree Frogs are excellent swimmers but prefer to spend most of their time in trees, only coming down for special occasions!

Some non-poisonous frogs copy the colors of poison dart frogs to trick predators (animals that hunt them)!

Bush vipers have overlapping, keeled scales (each scale overlaps the next like roof shingles).

Bush vipers are cold-blooded, so they can’t make their own body heat. To warm up, they move into sunny spots or onto warm surfaces; to cool down, they hide in shade or shady foliage.

Red-eyed Tree Frogs have bright red eyes, which is very rare in nature and helps scare away predators (animals that want to eat them) when the frog suddenly opens its eyes!
