#herpingstories : Monsoon love!
Not all the frogs are found around the water bodies, Some of them climbed up the trees,bushes and decided to stay there,those form rhacophoridae family. Few among those can glide as well and one such is malabar gliding frog.
Last monsoon, we were fortunate to observe breeding behaviour of this beautiful frog in the pristine hills of Amboli. Multiples males were trying their chance after showers by advertising through calls on the tree branches near a water tank.
As the female started to approach an male, it was suddenly grasped by one of the males, they entered amplexus and were ready to spawn. The female started kicking her legs vigorously which resulted in producing foam and started laying eggs. The male on back of the female started to fertilize the eggs and what’s next! The other males hopped on for their turn as well.
At one point there were 5 males and another one was trying join the party! The drama went on almost hour and as the female was done with egg laying, All males hopped off and disappeared.The poor female was left and had to cover the nest by gathering nearby leaves.
Malabar gliding frog.

Malabar Gliding Frog (Rhacophorus malabaricus) one of the very first gliding frog species which I came across in Amboli ghats.
This female specimen was spotted resting on a leaf after aplexus. Beautiful textures in eyes as well as the body structure and the movement of this species is a sight to witness.

Amplexo... Você pode ver alguns ovos se observar atentamente.
Amplexo é uma forma de pseudocópula no qual um anuro macho se coloca no dorso de uma fêmea, agarrando-a com as suas patas, enquanto esta faz a postura dos ovos. Nesta altura, o macho fertiliza os ovos com o fluido que contém os espermatozóides

Amplexus of Malabar gliding frog. You can see few eggs in the nest if you observe carefully.

Sleeping Beauty!
Malabar gliding frog at Amboli.
These species can be spotted at Western Ghats. This frog was sleeping peacefully on the leaf of a plant. It was quite hard to find the frog itself in the camouflaged habitat.
