Saving The Red Eyed Tree Frog

Authors Note: This is a piece about what would happen if the tree frogs died. 

The red-eyed tree frog also called the red-eyed leaf frog is a very cool amphibian.  But there habitat is being taken down by deforestation.  Tree frogs are not in danger of extinction but if they have no habitat they will become extinct.  Tree frogs need our help to save them and their environment.

Without tree frogs many insects will be everywhere in the rain forest and around South America.  So many bugs will get so annoying always buzzing around everywhere and biting you.  If that happened many people would leave South America. If tree frogs stayed here all those tiny pests would leave.  That is just one reason of many

Also, if tree frogs were gone the forests will just be boring.  All of those bright colors jumping around wouldn’t be there.  So not as many tourists would come and less money for the travel agencies and hotels around the rainforests.  Plus, scientist would’ve wasted money studying the frogs.

A few more cool facts about tree frogs are that they have mini suction cups on their hands so they can stick to trees and other plants better.  Also, did you know fish, dragon flies and water beetles are part of the tree frog family?  Plus, the frog’s inner thighs are a bluish color.  Finally, some predators of the tree frog are birds, bats, spiders, and snakes.

 It would be terrible if we lost all the tree frogs.  Everyone should help stop deforestation so we can save the red eyed tree frogs.  We really need to help the frogs.
