IMG_1415-1(W) Harlequin Flying Frog (Rhacophorus pardalis) on a rainy night
Location: Rainforest of Malaysia (in situ)
Third sightings
This frog is one of a number of species which has evolved extensive webbing between its fingers and toes. Its web feet will be fully extended akin to a mini umbrella or parachute. 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 (photo). Its dorsal surface and upperside of its legs are mottled medium brown/red, 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.
