Wikipedia

  1. tree-frog

    A tree frog (or treefrog) is any species of frog that spends a major portion of its lifespan in trees, known as an arboreal state. Several lineages of frogs among the Neobatrachia have given rise to treefrogs, although they are not closely related to each other. Millions of years of convergent evolution have resulted in very similar morphology even in species that are not very closely related. Furthermore, tree frogs in seasonally arid environments have adapted an extra-epidermal layer of lipid and mucus as an evolutionary convergent response to accommodate the periodic dehydration stress.

  1. tree-frog

    A tree frog is a type of amphibian that belongs to the family Hylidae. They are characterized by their ability to climb trees, move through vegetation, and live in high humidity environments. This is often due to adaptations such as enlarged toe pads and long hind legs. Tree frogs can be found in a variety of colors and sizes, depending on the species and their geographic location. Despite their name, not all tree frogs actually live in trees, but they all have the adaptations for climbing.
