Due to its forested habitat, the European Tree Frog must be able to climb high into the trees. So, it has suction cup-like toes that allow it to due so. …show more content…
Each of those living things are called biotic factors. One of them is algae. As tadpoles, the European Tree Frog depends on algae as a food source. Until it grows into a frog, this tree frog does not eat insects. Once the tadpole becomes a frog, it moves out of the water and into a much higher place: the trees. Tall trees and plants provide shelter for the European Tree Frog for all of its adult life. Living in the trees helps the frog escape from predators, and other harmful things such as the cold. This specific tree frog feasts on a variety of insects, including spiders, flies, beetles, butterflies, and
