Grey Tree Frogs have rough skin and large, sticky toe pads. They range in color from green or brown to gray and adults have several large, dark blotches on their backs. They can change color to help them blend in with their environment and have sticky toe pads to aid in climbing. The Tree Frogs find their food in the trees and shrubs they inhabit. They eat primarily insects, including moths, crickets, ants, and grasshoppers.

This little momma was caught red handed. She is not just eating for herself now.
Red squirrels have a fixed breeding season which lasts for 105 days, either once or twice each year. The females mate for only one day in each of the two possible breeding seasons, with between 4 to 16 males. The gestation period lasts 33-35 days, and the female gives birth in her drey to a litter of between one and eight young, usually between two and five. For 70 days the mother provides milk for the young, and then they are cast out of the drey to seek their own territory. The young squirrels develop rapidly and are weaned at 7 to 8 weeks.
