Current Goal

I want to hop around the world. Seeing many sites and places, I want to visit as many Geocaches as possible. I hope to one day visit one of my relatives around the world in Costa Rica in Central America.

About This Item

Hanging out with his buddies

Why do they have such bright red eyes? Some believe that it is also a form of protection called "startle coloration". These frogs tend to be active at night, so if the frog is awakened in the daytime, as might happen if a predator chanced upon it despite its excellent day time camouflage, the eyes pop abruptly open. Since they are suddenly so bright, they startle the predator, who is likely to pause, if only for a moment. Big eyes staring at you could be those of an enemy, poised to attack. A moment's hesitation would be all the agile tree frog would need to make a leap to safety
