Red-eyed tree frog, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica
Ginger and the frog

Species: Red-eyed tree frog | Location: Sarapiqui, Costa Rica

Taken at night when the red-eyed tree frog comes to life, the rain forest amphibian is bursting with color - from the bulging red eyes to the bright orange pads of its feet. Scientists believe that the profusion of brilliant coloration may confuse predators.
