Amazon Milk Frog

The Amazon Milk Frog resides in the canopy of the Amazon Rainforest spending its time in trees hiding away from predators. The Amazon Rainforest faces challenges caused by humans like deforestation and damming of run off streams from the Amazon River. Amazon Milk Frogs have a brown and blue/grey coloration allowing them to camouflage into trees where they safely lay their eggs in water filled crevices. Their eggs hatch within twenty four hours and tadpoles become adults between three to five weeks following that. The texture of their skin is essential for maintaining temperature and moisture. In the future Milk Frogs adapt to lay their eggs in crevices in the ground with tadpoles developing faster than before. Their skin becomes thicker with more texture to absorb and retain more moisture and their coloration becomes brown and beige to camouflage with dirt and remaining tree trunks.
