Wallace Flying Frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) on branch and leaves in rainforest

---

Probably the most dramatic looking frog in the region, and a species first described by the great naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, Wallace's Flying Frog is distinguished from other flying frogs by its large size, and the black colouration of the webbing on all four feet. Living mainly at mid-canopy level of tropical rainforests, the extensive webbing allows for long glides from tree to tree. The species can be found at ground level when it descends to mate and build its bubble nest.
