Besides looking for wildlife in the day, we went out at night with our guides to look for things that go hop, hop, hop in the night. We came away with a haul of frog photos over three nights. The experience left me wanting more ‘frogging’ fun.
Though there are many amphibian species, more than Singapore, it does not mean the rain forest eco-system in Borneo is not under threat. It is and we need to do more to save these amazing creatures and many other animals from extinction.
Filed-eared Tree Frog aka Borneo Eared Tree Frog. These tree frogs are found in lowland rainforest up to elevations of 400 metres. They are most commonly found suitable breeding ponds, clinging to nearby vegetation a few metres from the ground.
The Wallace's flying frog got its name from the 19th-century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, who first described the species in 1869. Also known as parachute frogs, Wallace's flying frogs inhabit the dense tropical jungles of Malaysia and Borneo.
