The struggle for survival of light green frogs as described can primarily be attributed to their lack of effective camouflage. Light green frogs stand out against dark logs, making them easily visible to predators. As a result, they become more vulnerable to being spotted and eaten.
On the other hand, dark green frogs are better camouflaged against the dark logs, which helps them avoid predation. Predators typically target the more visible prey, leading to a higher survival rate for the dark green frogs. Thus, in environments where predators are present and foraging, light green frogs face significant challenges in evading detection, ultimately affecting their survival rates and population numbers.
The preference of predators not to eat dark green frogs further exacerbates the problem for light green frogs, as it may lead to a reduction in their numbers compared to the more camouflaged species that benefit from increased survival odds.
