Theloderma corticale (common names: mossy frog, [3] Vietnamese mossy frog, [4] Tonkin bug-eyed frog, moss bug-eyed frog, [2] and [for the formerly recognized Theloderma kwangsiense] Kwangsi warty treefrog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae.The theloderma corticale is often difficult to identify visually as there are cryptic species that look very similar to it.
Theloderma, the bug-eyed frogs, mossy frogs or warty frogs, [1] is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, subfamily Rhacophorinae. [2] They are found from northeastern India and southern China, through Southeast Asia, to the Greater Sunda Islands ; the highest species richness is in Indochina . [ 3 ]
Some Rhacophoridae are called "tree frogs". Among the most spectacular members of this family are numerous "flying frogs". Although a few groups are primarily terrestrial, rhacophorids are predominantly arboreal treefrogs. Mating frogs, while in amplexus, hold on to a branch, and beat their legs to form a foam. The eggs are laid in the foam and ...
The archaeobatrachians are the most primitive of frogs. These frogs have morphological characteristics which are found mostly in extinct frogs, and are absent in most of the modern frog species. Most of these characteristics are not common between all the families of Archaeobatrachia, or are not absent from all the modern species of frogs.
The Malabar gliding frog is found in the Western Ghats of India and has been described in the states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, and Maharashtra. It has been recorded at altitudes ranging from 43m to 1894m above sea level. It is found in various habitats such as primary forests, secondary forests, plantations, and urban habitats.
This photo provided by researchers in December 2022 shows a glass frog, strict leaf dwelling frogs, that sleep, forage, fight, mate, and provide (male) parental care on leaves over tropical streams.
Wallace's flying frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) A flying frog (also called a gliding frog) is a frog that has the ability to achieve gliding flight. This means it can descend at an angle less than 45° relative to the horizontal. Other nonflying arboreal frogs can also descend, but only at angles greater than 45°, which is referred to as ...
