Indian Tree Frog or Chunam Tree Frog

Description:

These frogs measure about 7–8 cm in body length. They are mostly brownish, yellowish, greyish, or whitish above, with darker spots or markings, rarely with an hourglass-shaped figure on the back of the head and the front of the back. The loreal and temporal regions are dark, there is a light line on the upper lip. The hind side of the thighs has round yellow spots, which are usually separated by a dark brown or purplish network. The skin is smooth above, granulated on the belly and under the thighs, a fold extends from the eye to the shoulder. The fingers are nearly unwebbed, the toes are two-thirds webbed. The disks of fingers and toes are moderately developed, that of the third finger measuring two-fifths to one-half the diameter of the eye.

Habitat:

They wipe themselves with skin secretions consisting of mucus and lipids that help in reducing moisture loss. When temperatures are higher they secrete from the skin ("sweat"), pant and adopt lighter skin colours.

Notes:

It makes a series of low pitch sound like a faraway filmi AK-47 gun shots.
