A.What do you call frogs that have red eyes and live in trees? You call them red-eyed tree frogs. These beautiful frogs live in warm, wet forests.

A mother frog lays her eggs on a leaf above water. Soon baby frogs begin to grow in the eggs. Then the babies, called tadpoles（蝌蚪）, come out of the eggs and drop into the water.

They live and grow in the water. After about 75 days, the tadpoles have become frogs. The frogs come out of the water to live in trees.
