While Wallace’s flying frogs are not the only species to develop the ability to glide, they are, in my opinion, the most photogenic, being brightly colored all-over aside from the black color in between each pad. They can glide 50 feet or more and have oversized toe pads for landing. This gives Wallace’s flying frogs the ability to glide from one place to another, often in search of prey or to escape incoming predators.
CRAZY TOAD FROG SKIN
Their webbed feet are peculiar, having membranous, loose skin between their toes. Adults grow up to 4 inches in length and sport a bright green, white and yellow coloration perfect for its natural environment. This species survives in the dense jungles of Borneo and Malaysia, spending a large majority of their time in trees. Wallace’s flying frog ( Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) is also known as Abah River flying frog or simply “gliding frog”. The dermal papillae work much like external gills and they’re only found on breeding males. Its called dermal papillae and they contain arteries which are thought to help with the absorption of oxygen in the water. The most notable feature, however, is the hair coming from their torso and thighs. A popular theory suggests the bones eventually slide back into the toe pads as their muscles relax. Scientists have yet to determine what happens to the bones afterward. Some frogs blend into their environment, others are poisonous, but the hairy frog intentionally breaks the tiny bones in its pads (fingers or toes) to produce small barbs, or claws, for self-defense.

You see, the Hairy frog literally breaks its own bones to produce claws. Not because its strangely placed hair makes it look weird or anything, but because of its spine-tingling defense mechanism. The Hairy frog or “Horror frog” ( Trichobatrachus robustus) is definitely the most ghastly frog on this list.

The last section is simply a bonus one you don’t want to miss. Keep in mind, the frogs and toads in this section have evolved over time into the amazing species they are today. I hope you enjoy my findings as much as I enjoyed writing about it. I’ve spent several hours researching and writing about the species below and it’s been a blast.
