What is monkey frog?

Monkey frogs are a group of tree frogs belonging to the genus Phyllomedusa. They are commonly found in the rainforests of Central and South America.

These frogs are known for their large, forward-facing eyes, strong limbs for climbing, and well-developed opposable thumbs. They are called "monkey frogs" because they move and jump through the trees with similar agility to monkeys.

Monkey frogs are arboreal and spend most of their time in the canopy of trees, where they feed on insects, small invertebrates, and sometimes smaller frogs. They have a sticky tongue that helps them catch prey.

These frogs are usually green or brown in color, with some species having vibrant patterns or colors. They are nocturnal and are known to vocalize loudly at night to attract mates.

Monkey frogs are popular in the pet trade due to their unique appearance and behavior. However, it is important to ensure that captive specimens are provided with proper care and habitat requirements to thrive.
