Amazon Milk Frogs - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

We're Amazon milk frogs and do
Like to climb about in the trees
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
Wide toe pads help us climb with ease.
The "milk" that's in our name is
Reference to poison substance that
We secrete in protective biz
From threats in our habitat.
And keeps us hydrated as well,
Since in the trees we frogs be found,
And in water we do not dwell.
We hardly ever touch the ground.

In day we hide in leaves from sight,
And then go hunting bugs at night.
