アカメアマガエルは、中央アメリカの熱帯雨林地域の樹上で生活する両生類である。メスはオスよりも体が大きいが、体の模様は同じである。名前のとおり、黒い瞳のある鮮やかな赤い目をしている。上半身と前足が淡い緑色であるため、体を丸くして目を閉じると葉にうまく紛れることができる。体の側面は青く黄色の網模様があり、太ももは青い。足はオレンジで、腹部はグレーである。

Animal Facts
It is believed that the red eyes of this frog evolved as a startle display; the frog is well camouflaged with eyes closed, but if under threat it can open its eyes to shock a potential predator.
Red-eyed tree frogs have extremely sticky feet due to their surface being made up of an uneven microscopic hexagon pattern. This allows them to crawl upside down and stick to most surfaces, even when carrying the weight of another frog.
Red-eyed tree frog eggs can detect vibrations from nearby predators and may hatch early to escape harm.
Despite their bright colouration that may be perceived as a warning to predators, red-eyed tree frogs are not poisonous.
Red-eyed tree frog tadpoles can survive for up to 20 hours out of water.
