== Description ==
[[File:A Grey Frog.jpg|thumb|In [[Florida]]|left]]Cuban tree frogs are the largest tree frogs in North America, ranging from 2 to 5.5 inches or (5 to 12.7&nbsp;cm) in length.<ref name=":0" /> Cuban tree frogs are mostly gray, brown, or green, with young frogs having more green coloration than adults. These frogs have rough, warty skin with blotchy or mottled patterning.<ref name="handbook">{{cite book|last=Long|first=Kim|title=Frogs a Wildlife Handbook|year=1999|publisher=Johnson Books|location=Boulder, Colorado|isbn=1-55566-226-9|page=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781555662264/page/72 72]|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781555662264/page/72}}</ref> Cuban tree frogs have the ability to change their color and pattern to camouflage themselves.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=Cuban Tree Frog: Facts, Characteristics, Habitat and More {{!}} Animal Place|date=24 May 2012 |url=http://www.animalplace.net/amphibians/cuban-tree-frog-facts-characteristics-habitat-and-more/|language=en-US|access-date=2020-05-22}}</ref> The inner thighs of these frogs are bright yellow, which helps to confuse a predator when the frog jumps and reveals the color.  The toes have sticky pads that are useful in their arboreal life.<ref name=":0" />

The skin on their heads is fused to the skull; if the head of an adult frog is rubbed (between the eyes), the skin does not move. This special adaptation prevents water loss, since fewer blood vessels occur in the "co-ossified" (fused) area. Cuban tree frogs are able to secrete a toxic mucus from their skin which can cause a fiery sensation if it makes contact with a person's eyes.<ref name=":0" />
