The name "tree frog" could be in reference really to any arboreal frog species. This episode will focus specifically on "true" tree frogs who, ironically, don't always live in trees! Tree frogs spend most of their time inhabiting trees, though some species prefer the ground or even watery habitats. Their babies are laid either on leaves above water or directly in water, but some species may even take to rotting logs and plants like bromeliads. Tree frogs have claw-like toes covered in a round, adhesive disc that helps them stick to surfaces and climb trees. They also have extra cartilage between their toe bones giving them more flexibly to climb!
