IMG_1398-0(W)CC Harlequin Flying Frog (Rhacophorus pardalis)

Location: Rainforest of Peninsular Malaysia (in situ)

Third sightings

 

This frog is one of a number of species which has evolved extensive webbing between its fingers and toes : this allows it to glide from branch to branch, or across breaks in the forest canopy.

 

The species is easily identified by its yellow flanks which are spotted with black. Its dorsal surface and upperside of its legs are mottled medium brown, sometimes with scattered, irregular white spots. Its underside is pale pink. The webbing between its fingers and toes is red.

 

Range: Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo and the Philippines.
