The frog

Pseudophilautus femoralis is a frog in the family Rhacophoridae.

Range and habitat

Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.

Breeding

Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.

Eggs and damp skin make amphibians quick to vanish from a drained wetland or a forest stripped of litter.

In crisis

Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.

Pseudophilautus femoralis is Endangered on this catalog because that is the IUCN category stored on Wikidata. Confirm the official criteria and any later count on iucnredlist.org.
