Tree Frog #Hylidae #Perereca
Not in many occasions I have the opportunity to take a picture of one of these amazing frogs known as "perereca" or tree frog from the Hylidae family. These frogs spend most of their time in trees and rarely they descend to the ground.
The size is less than 10cm and there are more than 700 known species of Perereca.
In general, the tree frog is smaller than a toad or a frog and is characterized by their bulging eyes (shifted out). His thin, long legs allow big jumps - some of them reach the mark of 2 meters! The tips of their fingers have a kind of suction cup, which helps when climbing trees.
Can be seen in Argentina and Brazil.
Thank you all for your appreciation.
