Black-eyed tree frogs, also called Morelet's tree frogs, live in the forests of southern Mexico and Central America. They're close cousins of the famous red-eyed tree frog, but with deep, dark eyes.
When it's time to lay eggs, the females choose leaves and rocks hanging right over the water.
The eggs develop safely above the surface, and when the tadpoles hatch, they simply let go and drop into the pond below, exactly where they need to be to grow.
These frogs have been hit hard by habitat loss and a deadly fungus, and they've vanished from parts of their range.
Sometimes life asks you to let go of what feels safe and familiar. The drop is terrifying. But sometimes that fall lands you exactly where you're meant to grow.
The fall that scares you might be the landing you were meant for.
Stay wild,
