Dark Eared Tree Frog

Amphibians ~ Tree Frogs ~ Dark Eared Tree Frog

The dark eared tree frog is a large arboreal frog from lowland rainforest that is similar to Polypedates leucomystax, but can be differentiated by its larger eyes and longer fingers/toes. The base colour is usually yellowish to reddish brown, but the pattern can be variable, ranging from being mottled with dark patches or completely solid.

A row of dark spots may be present along the flanks while the belly is whitish; the underside of the limbs pale. A dark greenish patch runs from the eye, through the tympanum, gradually tapering down to the lateral region just above the arm. This species occurs in Malaysia, Borneo, Indonesia and the Philippines in Southeast Asia.
