The smooth-skinned warted tree frog or white-backed bug-eyed frog (Theloderma licin) is a frog. It lives in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Scientists found some 82 and 193 meters above sea level.[2][3][1][4]
Body
[change | change source]The adult male frog is about 28.0 – 30.1 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 27.5 – 31.2 mm long. The skin on the frog's back is white-brown with darker spots and marks. The chin is brown. The iris of the eye is red in color.[4]
Home
[change | change source]This frog can live in different places: forests that have been cut down and are growing back, near the edges of forests, and near pools. People saw one frog in a bathroom in Sungai Lasor. People see them sitting about 40 cm above the ground.[1]
Many of the places the frog lives are protected parks: Taman Negara National Park, Lakum Forest Reserve, Ulu Muda Forest Reserve, Ampang Forest Reserve, Raja Muda Forest Reserve, Kenaboi Forest Reserve, and Khao Lu-ang National Park.[1]
Young
[change | change source]Scientists do not know where this frog lays eggs or where the tadpoles grow, but they think it is in water-filled holes in trees. They think this because that is where other Theloderma tadpoles grow.[1]
Name
[change | change source]Scientists named this frog licin from the Malay language word for "smooth." This is because the frog has smooth skin.[4]
Danger
[change | change source]Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in a large place and because it is good at living in places that humans have changed.[1]
