The Mexican fringed tree frog lives in mountain forests and near streams in Mexico. It has a slender body and fringes on its legs that help it cling to wet rocks and hide.
This frog is distinguished by the fringe on its legs, which helps it live near fast mountain streams. It is important for nature because it eats insects and serves as food for snakes, birds, and other animals.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
