Description
The Cuban Treefrog is an interesting creature. Amazing adaptations help them avoid drying out or being eaten by predators -- the irritating skin secretions are a great example of this. Unfortunately, human activities have resulted in the accidental introduction of Cuban Treefrogs in Florida and other tropical and subtropical areas. Every day, there are reports of Cuban Treefrogs found in ornamental plants -- some as far away as Canada! In Florida, the presence of this frog is NOT benign -- they are quite literally eating our native species alive, adding pressure to species that are already greatly affected by habitat loss.
