Tree Frogs

16 years. Like normal frogs, they also start off as a

tadpole.

Camouflage• Many tree frogs can change their colour for

better camouflage. This protects them from predators and means they can catch insects to eat more easily.

• For instance, the grey tree frog can change its colour from green to grey to yellow.

Diet

• As tadpoles, most of them start off their lives as herbivores, only eating plants.

• Adult tree frogs are insectivores that eat flies, ants, crickets, beetles, moths, and other small invertebrates.
