Description
Taken at The Oakland Zoo.
The Amazon milk frog spends its entire life cycle in the tropical rainforest canopy. During breeding season, males stake out water-filled tree holes and call for mates. About 2,000 eggs are laid in the water as a result of a successful mating, which hatch into tadpoles by the next day. It feeds on insects & spiders. Life expectancy is up to 25 years. It's named for the milky white, poisonous secretion it produces to deter predators.
