Malaysian Leaf Frog

Description:

Spotted near a river stream by the trail in the tropical jungle. If it didn't move, I would not have spotted it.

Habitat:

This species lives in permanently damp and cool lowland and submontane rainforests among leaf litter. The call is a loud, resonating, metallic "honk" or "henk". Breeding takes place in streams, female frogs attach the eggs to the underside of partially or full submerged rocks or logs. The capsules are large and few in number. This species may lie still on the forest floor waiting for an unsuspecting prey item to pass by, they then lash out and engulf the prey. They typically feed on spiders, small rodents, lizards and other frogs.

Notes:

Also known as Long-nosed Horned Frog.
