Rhacophoridae, also known as tree frogs, are a diverse and fascinating group of amphibians. From the Vietnamese Mossy Frog to the Darjeeling bush frog, these creatures captivate us with their unique features and behaviors. In Vietnam, the Theloderma corticale, commonly called the Vietnamese Mossy Frog, can be found in captivity. Its moss-like appearance helps it blend seamlessly into its surroundings. Meanwhile, in Kalimpong, we witness the enchanting sight of a Darjeeling bush frog croaking on a delicate petal. Underneath a starry sky in the Western Ghats of India, we encounter a small tree frog named Rhacophorus lateralis. Its vibrant colors shimmer against the night backdrop as it navigates through its habitat. In Coorg, Karnataka, another member of this family floats gracefully on water - the Malabar gliding frog (Rhacophorus malabaricus). This male exemplifies elegance and tranquility. The Jayarami Bush frog is an expert at attracting mates by inflating its vocal sac while emitting calls that resonate throughout its environment. These captivating displays occur amidst lush landscapes. Mossy frogs like Theloderma corticale camouflage themselves effortlessly when kept captive in Vietnam. Their ability to blend into their surroundings is truly remarkable. Territorial disputes are not uncommon among Darjeeling bush frogs; two males engage in fierce battles over territory rights. Witnessing such encounters reminds us of nature's competitive spirit. A close-up shot reveals intricate details within the eye of a mossy frog (Theloderma corticale), showcasing nature's artistry up close and personal. Traveling to Deniyaya in Sri Lanka introduces us to yet another species -the Sri Lanka whipping frog or Hour-glass tree-frog (Polypedates cruciger). Its distinct markings resemble an hourglass shape and add intrigue to this already captivating creature.
