Scientific Name: Lithobates catesbeianus Compared to a lot of the other frogs on this list, a bullfrog’s eyes are nothing special. Of course, bullfrogs are big enough that their eyes may actually be significantly larger than those on a tree frog, even if they look proportionally smaller. This is a big, beefy frog and it’s hard to realize just how b...
Scientific name: Phyllomedusa sauvagii This unique frog lives in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay. They get their name from the waxy secretions they produce to minimize water loss through their skin during the day. This allows them to live in drier environments than most frogs, and also gives them a limited ability to regulate their body tem...
Scientific name: Centrolenidae This is actually a whole family of frog species, many of which are poorly known, native to the rainforests of South America. Most species are lime green on their backs, but they get their name from their translucent bellies. You can actually see their internal organs through their skin when you turn them upside down. ...
Scientific name: Ranoidea chloris This frog looks remarkably similar to the red-eyed tree frog, but they aren’t closely related at all.

The eyes, which have horizontal pupil slits, are a deep...
Scientific name: Leptopelis aubryi Found throughout most of western Africa, this small frog with big eyes boasts truly enormous eyes compared to its body size. Each eye is close to half the size of the rest of its head! A large female will just barely exceed 2 inches, and most males are significantly smaller. They’re a uniform brown color which can...
Scientific name: Leptopelis vermiculatus Native to the forests of Tanzania, this species is named for its bright, iridescent colors. They come in two different color phases, though, and one of them is simply a dull, mottled brown. It’s the other color phase that earned the name- that one has bright green back with black speckles, and the sides and ...
Scientific name: Leptopelis kivuensis Found in the highland forests of Central Africa, this tiny frog is bright green with white undersides and big, blue eyes. Some adults may have a reddish or tan color on their backs, as well. They breed in flooded swamp forests, and lay their eggs in nests buried in the mud. When seasonal rains come they wash th...
Frogs are amphibians - animals that live between water and land. Their eyes have to deal with a lot compared with most of the animal kingdom. Yet despite this incredible adaptability, surprisingly little research has delved into amphibian eyesight, and how they perceive the world around them.

Oct 1, 2020 · Frogs have big eyes. But as evident as it is to the casual observer, scientists need actual data to state what seems obvious—and that data didn’t previously exist.
Nocturnal frogs have large, sensitive eyes that allow them to see well in the dark. Some species of frogs can see uv light, which is useful in tracking prey and avoiding predators. Insectivorous frogs have forward-facing eyes that allow them to precisely track and capture insects.
