Malabar Gliding Frog Rhacophorus malabaricus flying frog It can make gliding jumps of 9-12 meters. Place Amboli Maharashtra
The Malabar Flying Frog Rhacophorus malabaricus is a moss frog species found in the Western Ghats of India. The term "flying frog" refers to its ability to break their fall by stretching the webbing between their toes when making leaps down from the treetops. It can make gliding jumps of 9-12 meters, a maximum of about 115 times its length. This frog has a body length of about 10 cm (4 in), making it one of the largest moss frogs. Males are smaller than females. Its back skin is finely granulated and the color is vivid green without markings, distinguishing it from the otherwise quite similar R. pseudomalabaricus which has a black-marbled back and was long included in the present species. Rhacophorus malabaricus found at Amboli maharashtra in India. Amboli, situated 690 metres above sea level, is not a national park or a sanctuary; it can be termed as a reserve forest under the Forest.
