Red-Eyed Tree Frog

The red-eyed tree frog lives in warm tropical rainforests and usually has bright green skin that helps it camouflage with leaves. It has large red eyes that can scare predators and sticky toe pads that help it climb plants and trees. As climate change increases temperatures and changes rainforest habitats, the red-eyed tree frog may develop several adaptations to survive. One adaptation is duller green or brownish skin, which would help it camouflage better if the plants around it change. Another adaptation is thicker skin that helps it keep moisture and avoid drying out in hotter weather. The frog may also develop longer limbs and stronger toe pads so it can climb higher into cooler, shaded parts of trees. Finally, it may become more active at night to avoid the heat during the day. These adaptations would help the frog survive in a warmer environment.
