Description

Zhangixalus dulitensis (Jade Tree Frog) is a small tree frog with a sharply pointed snout and a slender body. Each male and female is measure about 33-40 mm and 49-50 mm respectively. This frog is a species of primary forest in flat or hilly country in the lowlands. It is known from Sabah, Sarawak and north central Kalimantan but it also occurs in Sumatra. The Jade Tree Frog has webbed toes to the base of the pads and its fingers are almost fully webbed. The skin of the back is smooth and there is a narrow, white-edged ridge of skin along the outer edge of the forearm and another along the lower leg. The entire upper surface of this frog is pale jade green with or without tiny white dots. One of the oddities of this species is that the limb bones are turquoise green and visible through the flesh from the underside (Inger & Stuebing, 2005).
