This little chap made a big croak to my surprise, and I discovered him resting on a perch, wrapped in leaf blankets.

Another Red Eyed TreeFrog shot from Costa Rica. These red flower stalks made perfect perching tools in the forest!
In Mayfield Park, Austin - this little tree frog was snoozing in the middle of a big calladium leaf...
Mark, the Cuban Treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) changes colors, not typically to blend into an environment, but based on temperature and mood. This is similar to chameleons, who often communicate with one another through their flashy displays. Interestingly, the treefrog's skin is fused to his skull, an adaptation that minimizes water loss. Also, so invasive is this species that if you get caught selling one in Hawaii (where the these frogs have colonized Oahu), you could wind up in jail and paying fines of up to $25,000!
Mark lives in captivity after being rescued from what would have been an ill-fated trip stowing away on a greenhouse shipment.
Red Eyed Treefrog in the rain at Laguna in Costa Rica. I loved seeing all the different types of frogs that lived over the pools, high up in the palm trees. It made me wonder how they got up there!
A lovely start to the morning but it was near a hundred today. The little Tree Frogs were chilling out by the pond.
Two species of Treefrog from the same pool of water. The Arizona Tree Frog (Hyla wrightorum) and the Canyon Treefrog (Hyla arenicolor) both inhabit temporary pools where rain water collects during the early monsoon for breeding. Most of the reproductive cycle takes place during the first heavy rains, but some Canyon Treefrogs will live within permanent creeks, rivers, and lakes where various life stages may be found intermittently.
