Despite its colorful appearance, the red-eye tree frog isn’t poisonous. Instead, it relies on camouflage to hide itself from predators. During the day, this tree frog will cover its sides with its back legs, tuck its bright feet under its belly, and shut its red eyes. As a result, it appears completely green and looks almost invisible as it naps on rainforest foliage!
