Masked Tree Frog

Masked Tree Frog (Rhacophorus angulirostris) - Mount Kinabalu National Park, Malaysia

 

This frog is known from fewer than five locations and its habitat is declining in quality and size. It is only found in primary submontane and montane forests in the Crocker range and strangely at one site in Sumatra in Indonesia. Due to its restricted range and the threats facing it, this species has been listed as endangered. It is not too difficult to find in the montane forest of Mount Kinabalu, where this species can sometimes be seen perching near streams which are found in montane forest above 1000 m asl. This species has a rather variable coloration so despite its common name (masked tree frog) this particular individual is missing the mask.
