The Red-Eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidryas) is a insectivore species found in Central American rainforests. It typically lives 5-10 years, weighing around 0.006-0.015 kg, and is currently classified as Least Concern on conservation status lists.
One fact worth knowing about the red-eyed tree frog: They flash their red eyes to startle predators when disturbed.
Amphibians live a double life, often starting in water as larvae before transforming to breathe air as adults. Frogs, toads, and salamanders are especially sensitive to environmental change, making them useful indicators of ecosystem health.
