Cuban Tree Frogs


The Cuban Tree Frog is a big problem in Central Florida because they are an evasive species.

What that means is they are not native to this area. They are considered to be a pest because they will eat anything, such as any kind of bug, and they even eat other frogs. They are even cannibalistic which means they will eat their own kind as long as it's a smaller one.

So by them being here they are killing off our native green tree frogs and disrupting the balance of our eco system.

Cuban Tree Frogs come here in crates shipped in from Cuba. Sadly there is really no way to prevent them from getting here.
