They are found in the tropical lowlands from southern Mexico, throughout Central America, and in northern South America. They like the rain forest canopy.They eat crickets, flies, and moths using their long, sticky tongues. These cute frogs are not endangered, but their habitat is shrinking at a very fast rate.
