@sujee.aryan 🔅 Orange with black stripes is always popular, but what about this🐸👇⁣Swipe 👉 to see second image. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ : Rhacophorus pseudomalabaricus⁣ : False malabar gliding frog (Juv)⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Rhacophorus pseudomalabaricus, also known as Anaimalai flying frog, false Malabar gliding frog, and false Malabar tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to the Anaimalai Hills, a part of the southern the Western Ghats in the Tamil Nadu and Kerala states, India.⁣ ⁣ The Anaimalai Flying Frog is found in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala in Western Ghats of India in the tropical evergreen forests. As an semi arboreal species of frog, the Anaimalai Flying Frog is found in the lower canopy and under story levels of the forests. They do however come to the ground floor often and are often mushed by cars. The Anaimalai Flying Frogs is called a flying frog because they are able to glide from tree to tree thanks to their large webbed hands.⁣ ⁣ The Anaimalai Flying Frog was listed as a Critically Endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The main threat to the frog is habitat loss due to clearing of land for plantations and timber harvesting. Also locals kill the frog because they believe it is a bad omen. Plantation owners believe that the frogs eat their fruit crop – the cardamom, so they offer rewards for killing the frog. It seems the locals need to be educated about the frog since they are carnivorous, not fruit eaters.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ “Critically Endangered”⁣ ⁣ . 🌟📸 By @sujee.aryan 🌟 . Support and follow the photographer .
