Frogs can change colors like chameleons to hide from predators or surprise prey. They have special cells in their skin called chromatophores that let them switch between green and brown quickly, depending on where they are and what’s happening around them. If a frog is on a leaf, it might be green so it blends in, but if it moves to a tree trunk, it can turn brown in seconds! This helps them survive in the wild.
Examples
- A baby frog hiding in a leafy forest stays bright green so it doesn’t stand out.
- A frog on a tree trunk changes from brown back to green when it moves to the grass.
