Six red-eyed tree frogs just moved into The Treehouse in My Big Backyard! These brightly-colored, sticky-footed amphibians are native to the rain forests of southern Mexico and Central and South America. While their colorful eyes and markings are defense mechanisms that startle away potential predators, red-eyed tree frogs are not venomous. Join us in welcoming these flashy frogs to #CMZoo, and stop by The Treehouse to say hello the next time you're here! | Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
