It could become threatened in the near future if current threats go unchecked.
Wallace's flying frog is a species of anuran amphibian of the family Rhacophoridae. This frog lives in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. It has enormous, heavily webbed feet, which allow it to glide between trees. The huge webbing, sometimes classed as a kind of patagium, helps slow its fall when it leaps into space from a branch. Using this technique, it can glide distances of 15 metres.
