Red Eyed Tree Frog

The Red Eyed Tree Frog will need to adapt to the changes of the harsh desert. The common Red Eyed Tree Frog has moist skin, sticky pads on its feet and an adaptation called startled coloration. The adapted Red Eyed Tree Frog will require some much needed upgrades to survive the desert conditions. Adaptations would include skin that is more rough and dry. The desert frog skin would help protect the frog against the UV of the Sun and keep it from drying out. The skin would also keep it protected from predators since its tough and still produces toxins. The frog´s sticky pads would have to adapt to a shovel shaped toe pad to dig in the sand, not losing moisture from having to always be sticky. Clear eyelids would block out the sand and keep the frogs eyes moist. The specialized nictitating membrane would block out the sun.
