Rhacophoridae is a family of frog species, also known as Moss Frogs, which occur in tropical regions of Asia and Africa. Rhacophorus owstoni is a species of Frog in the Rhacophoridae family Chordates ( Phylum Chordata) are a group of Animals that includes the Vertebrates together with several closely related Invertebrates Prehistoric amphibian Amphibians (class Amphibia such as Frogs Toads Salamanders Newts Gymnophiona, Sirens and This article is about the block cipher algorithm For the ultrafast laser pulse measurement technique see Frequency-resolved optical gating. Johann Centurius Hoffmann Graf von Hoffmannsegg ( August 23, 1766 - December 13, 1849) was a German Botanist, Entomologist Rhacophorinae is a subfamily of Frogs in the family Rhacophoridae.

They are found in Japan, and in Madagascar and in the Congo River Basin and they represent the largest frog group. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Japan topics. Madagascar, or Republic of Madagascar (older name Malagasy Republic) is an Island nation in the Indian Ocean off the southeastern These frogs have also been spotted throughout the South-Eastern United States. Most of the species are arboreal and this may include reproducing in trees.

In some species, this is done in a large group. The foam is laid above a water source, so the tadpoles fall into the water once they hatch.

Chiromantis is a genus of Frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. Most live in the African tropics but the recently described Chiromantis This family also contains the flying frog, for example: Wallace's flying frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus). The "flying" frog is a frog that has the ability to glide The Species Rhacophorus nigropalmatus, commonly known as Wallace's Flying Frog, is a Moss frog found at least from to Malay Peninsula These frogs have extensive webbing between their hands and feet, allowing them to glide through the air.
