Vietnamese Black-Webbed Gliding Frog Poker Chips

Rhacophorus kio or black-webbed treefrog or Vietnamese Black-Webbed Gliding Frog is species of frog in the Rhacophoridae family. Rhacophorus kio is an arboreal species that has been recorded from primary and secondary evergreen rainforests with a closed canopy, generally at low elevations. It is a vulnerable species because of its fragmented distribution and threats from habitat loss. Known from southern China (Yunnan and Guangxi provinces), northern Thailand, eastern India, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Gliding frogs are named for their ability to ‘parachute’ from high perches, by extending their arms and legs and their fully-webbed feet and hands, and being able to steer themselves to a safe landing below.
