The Malaysian flying frog or red-legged tree frog (Leptomantis rufipes) is a frog. It lives in Indonesia and Malaysia.[2][3] People have seen it 950 meters above sea level.[1]

This frog lives in forests that human beings have not changed. This frog lays eggs in foam nests on plants over water.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place, but human beings continue to cut down the forests where it lives.[1]
