 Amazon Milk Frogs - LP Zoo

We're Amazon milk frogs and do

Like to climb about in the trees

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

Wide toe pads help us climb with ease.

The "milk" that's in our name is

Reference to poison substance that

We secrete in protective biz

From threats in our habitat.

And keeps us hydrated as well,

Since in the trees we frogs be found,

And in water we do not dwell.

We hardly ever touch the ground.

In day we hide in leaves from sight,

And then go hunting bugs at night.
