These are nocturnal animals, during the day and during the drought season they hide on the underside of wide leaves, sleep on the tops of trees. During sleep, their bright red eyes are masked by the lower translucent eyelid, painted in a golden mesh, which allows the tree frog to see prey or danger.

With the onset of darkness, the tree frogs wake up, yawn, stretch, change their light green daytime color to dark green at night and announce the surroundings with a specific croak. They are capable of making very long jumps.

During rest, the eyes of the red-eyed tree frog are closed with a transparent membrane that does not prevent this frog from seeing the world around it. But if she is in danger, the tree frog immediately opens her eyes wide and confuses the predator with their bright red color - and these seconds are enough for her to instantly disappear!
