Recently, a rare amphibian, Malabar Gliding Frog (Rhacophorus malabaricus) was spotted in Pullad, Kerala. In the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List it is placed in the Least Concern category. The amphibian is endemic to the rainforest of western ghats.
Endemic species are those plants and animals that exist only in one geographical region. It is a green frog with a slender body, webbed feet, unusual body positions and is very well camouflaged.
Camouflage, also called cryptic colouration, is a defence mechanism or tactic that organisms use to disguise their appearance, usually to blend in with their surroundings. It has a body length of 10 cm, making it one of the largest mossy frogs.
Mossy Frogs have a skin which is green in colour and resembles moss growing on the rock. As their body is so soft, they can live only in moist forests with streams.
