Facts:

• Red Eyed Tree Frogs are nocturnal animals! (They​'re active during the night)

• They eat a number of things, including moths, grasshoppers, flies and crickets. 

• They are ambush predators and sneak up on their prey to catch it.

• Their predators are snakes, spiders, toucans, bats and owls.

• They are about the size of a teacup!

• They spend the daytime hiding under leaves and keeping their eyes closed and markings covered so they can't be seen.

• In nature, if you have outstanding colours, you're usually venomous, because it shows that you don't need to hide as you have weapons to defend yourself. However, despite the red-eyed tree frog's beautiful colourful markings, they are not venomous.
