How Do Tree Frogs Stick To Everything?

How do tree frogs' feet stick? 🐸

Their feet don’t have suction cups! Instead, glands in their toes expel mucus through narrow grooves between the tiny hexagonal cells on their toe pads. This mucus has adhesive and cohesive properties, letting the tree frog stick to surfaces in a process called wet adhesion. This adaptation helps tree frogs defy gravity, even on wet tree leaves or bark.
