One of the most popular pets in the world，the Australian tree frog，is originally a native of Australia，though the pet trade has transported it far and wide．It has successfully adapted to New Zealand and the United States．It’s one of the largest members of its species and can reach up t0 10 centimetres in length．Their．1ife spans(寿命)are also longer than most of their frog cousins and can reach between16 t0 20 years in captivity．In the wild，their lives are smaller due to their natural enemies．

   Their skin color ranges anything between light green and dark green，depending on the temperature of the place where they live and the co1or of the environment around where they live,as it’s supposed to make them difficult to be seen by their natural enemies．They come out only at night to hunt，feed and mate．During the day，they find dark，wet areas to sleep in．They aren’t seen at all during the winter．

    As the Australian tree frog isn’t equipped with teeth．it cannot tear apart its prey(猎物)．It needs to feed on food that can fit in its mouth．Therefore its diet consists of insects，such as spiders，and flies，and small animals， such as other frogs，bats and sometimes even mice．For the smaller prey，they use their sticky tongues to shoot at the close range prey．For larger prey, they attack the prey and force it into their mouths with their hands. They also have some natural enemies that feed on them．

    The Australian law protects the tree frog by giving it a protected status The IUCN International Union for Conservation of Nature)，however，gives it a“least concern”status．The broad range of habitats(栖息地)that the frog can survive in and its long life ensure that this frog won’t lose population．
