Larut Torrent Frog

The Larut torrent frog is a common species among the boulders and rocks of fast-flowing streams in lowland and highland rainforest. It is restricted to Peninsular Malaysia and Southern Thailand. There appears to be two forms; the first has a streamlined yellowish green appearance with numerous dark spots on the dorsum; the other has a more rounded and stocky body while the back is a dirty greenish brown. The limbs are barred and the belly white in both forms. Tadpoles have an abdominal sucker that enables them to cling to rocks in fast torrents to graze the algae growing on them.
