Tree Frog
Costa Rica's lush rainforests resonate with the vibrant melodies of its iconic inhabitants—the tree frogs. Among them, the red-eyed tree frog (Agalychnis callidryas) reigns as a symbol of the country's rich biodiversity. Adorned with brilliant hues of green, blue, yellow, and orange, these arboreal acrobats navigate the dense foliage with ease, using their sticky toe pads to cling to leaves and branches. However, their most striking feature is their piercing red eyes, which serve as a warning to potential predators. Despite their conspicuous appearance, these frogs are masters of camouflage, blending seamlessly into the foliage during the day and becoming active nocturnal hunters under the cover of darkness. Beyond their captivating appearance, red-eyed tree frogs play a vital role in their ecosystem as both predators and prey, contributing to the intricate balance of life in Costa Rica's verdant forests.
