Red-eyed Treefrog

• reproducciónIt lays its eggs on leaves overhanging pools, and the tadpoles hatch and drop straight into the water when they feel the vibrations of an approaching predator.
• Its embryos decide when to hatch: if a snake attacks the clutch, the tadpoles sense the vibration and hatch all at once up to three days early, dropping into the water to escape. They can tell a predator's vibration from that of rain or wind.
• Its colouring is what is known as startle coloration: by day it is entirely green and invisible, and when disturbed it snaps open its red eyes and flashes its blue and orange flanks, a burst that throws the predator long enough for it to leap away.
• It lays its eggs on leaves overhanging the water, and on hatching the tadpoles drop straight into the pool.
