Spiny Wart Frog - Theloderma horridumThe Spiny Wart Frog, Theloderma horridum (Rhacophoridae), is a difficult to find species, evidenced by the small number of records, and its discovery in well-surveyed Singapore as late as the year 2000. It has been recorded from southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, two localities in Borneo (Malaysia) and from three localities in Sumatra, Indonesia and Siberut in the Mentawais.Theloderma horridum is a secretive animal. Due to its coloration and warty skin texture, it is difficult to discern when sitting on bark. Apart from the bark-mimicing skin, very broad orange-colored finger tips are a hallmark of this mid-size frog (approx. 40–50 mm).References: [1] - [2] - [3]Photo credit: ©Methos Phang | Locality: Borneo, Malaysia (2013) -- source link
