Description This little arboreal frog from Allocene Europe is about the size of a grown human palm and is bright red. But not because its actually poisonous, its just mimicry.

Wait, how would something colored bright red actually mimicry in the tree canopy?

I said mimicry, not camouflage. The mimicry is simply that it is colored like an actually poisonous frog.
