The orange-thighed frog (Ranoidea xanthomera) is a species of tree frog native to a small area of tropical northern Queensland, Australia. It has been observed between 100 and 1500 meters above sea level. [1] [2] It is a green frog with distinctly orange eyes, and is very similar in appearance to the red-eyed tree frog.
In the red-eyed tree frog's case, the frog's startling red eyes are hidden when its eyes are closed allowing it to blend in with leaves. When the frog is startled, it can flash its bright red eyes, orange webbed feet, and blue and yellow lateral stripes, which all serve the purpose of startling predators and allowing the frog time to escape.
