Flying without wings
The frog that chooses air
travel to avoid predators
Found in the dense, tropical jungles of Malaysia,
the Wallace’s tree frog lives almost exclusively
in the trees, and getting around quickly without
being eaten is no easy task. This ten-centimetre
(four-inch) long amphibian leaps from one tree
to another by splaying four webbed feet, and
its funky oversized toe pads helps it to make a
soft landing and stick to tree trunks.
