Critter At A Glance
What are they like? This tree frog is a brownish green/yellow color and has the stereotypical tree frog look, which is quite cute! It has pads on its toes which are large enough to help them climb trees. When they start to climb, their little gripping pads stick to the tree and give them some amazing climbing power. Wouldn’t you love a critter skill like this?
Where are they found? These frogs are found on the coasts of Australia. They are not usually found inland. They are usually found in trees or other types of plants near ponds.
Do they go through metamorphosis? Yes, these frogs go through a crazy change! They start as tiny baby tadpoles then start to grow legs, arms, and the ability to go on land. This is probably the coolest thing about amphibians like Tyler’s Tree Frog.
Let’s jump into the story about Tyler, the Tyler’s Tree Frog!

Let’s try a fun experiment.
You’ll need some tape to get started.
The challenge is to see if tape on your hands and feet help you move across the floor.
Try a bear crawl, or in this case a frog climb, across the floor. Do you slip at all?
Now try putting some rolled up tape on your hands and feet. Try to move across the floor again. Does this help you keep your grip? Does it keep you from slipping?
Now that you’ve had some sticky limbs, I bet you have a better idea what it’s like to be a tree frog climbing up a tree!
Let us know if you tried this challenge! Share your pictures and videos on Instagram or Facebook.! #heymrjim
