Red-eyed tree frogs must adapt to their changing environment. Normally, these frogs have green skin, bright red eyes, and a scaly texture. However, wildfires, deforestation, and pollution are destroying their habitat. To survive, they will evolve. Their skin will become smoother to help them move in tight spaces, and their eye color will change to pink; this will ensure a night vision feature, which helps them avoid predators. They will also develop a heat-based venom to catch prey and defend against threats. Unfortunately, as they face dehydration and starvation, their bright eye color may turn gray. In this new landscape of dead trees and rugged mountains, these frogs will start eating other animals to survive. This change marks a big shift from their old life in the lush jungles they once called home.
