Appearance
Tyler's tree frog is a small-sized frog with smooth, moist skin. Males are green, while females exhibit a brown upper body with green splotches. This species lacks distinctiveness between any age groups. Their bulging eyes, which are adapted for their nocturnal lifestyle, are a stand-out feature. They possess long limbs with webbed toes, aiding their arboreal habit.
Behavior
Tyler's tree frog is known for a nocturnal lifestyle, spending their day in tree hollows and emerging at night to forage and mate. This arboreal species exhibits a solitary lifestyle, interacting only during the mating season. Their distinctive mating call, a series of soft clicks, is a key survival adaptation to attract females in their dense forest habitat.
