Long Legged Horned Frog

Amphibians ~ Leaf Frogs ~ Long Legged Horned Frog

The long legged horned frog is most similar to Megophrys aceras, but has a much slimmer body and longer hind legs, that when tucked in neatly, protrude further past the span of both front legs. It also has short appendages above the eyes.

This species is usually brownish to cream in colour, which may or not have mottled markings on the back. The long legged horned frog is restricted to highland and montane forest areas, where it can thrive in both pristine and disturbed areas near primary forest. In Southeast Asia, this species occurs from Vietnam through Thailand to Peninsular Malaysia.
