Green Tree Frog

Pelodryas caerulea

Green Tree Frog

The adult is an arboreal frog often found in tree hollows, dense foliage, wetlands, and even sheltered places around buildings in warm, humid regions. It waits quietly for insects, spiders, and other small animals, then snaps them up with a sticky tongue. During wet weather, males give loud croaking calls from elevated or waterside perches. A notable fact is that its waxy skin secretions help reduce water loss, allowing it to tolerate drier conditions than many other frogs.
