- The tree frog is notable for its ability to stick to surfaces using wet adhesion, which relies on the water in tiny channels on its toe pads.
- Researchers studied how tree frogs secrete mucus from their toe pads and mapped the distribution of mucus glands using advanced imaging techniques.
- They found that the secretion of mucus varies with environmental conditions, providing insights that could lead to new adhesive materials inspired by the tree frog's toe pads.
