The Red-eyed tree frog ( Agalychnis Callidryas ) currently lives in Central / South America, including Colombia, Panama and Mexico. Its current adaptations include: 1. Startle coloration: it startles its predators by flashing its brightly-colored body, startling predators, and using that short time to escape. 2. Legs. It can jump 5', and has adapted to jumping and climbing trees (hence the name). The Red-eyed tree frog's diet consists of flies, mosquitoes, and grasshoppers. The Amazon Rainforest will most likely become a savannah in 1,000 years. (Bye, rainforest!) Therefore, the Red-eyed tree frog will adapt to the savannah by altering its diet to include termites and ants. The Red-eyed tree frog will develop camouflage to blend in with its new grassy surroundings. It will be accustomed to less water, and will have drier, tougher skin, to resist the heat. It will be prompted to live near small ponds, to maintain moisture.
