Okay this is a bit of a cheat. You see there are lots and lots of different tree frogs. We know that the ones pictured are in a family of tree frogs known as Whipping Frogs and are native to East, South and Southeast Asia. But it’s hellish difficult to tell the devils apart. Species identification isn’t a learning curve, it’s a learning cliff.
Anyway if there are any herpetologists out there (experts on amphibians and reptiles, in case you were wondering) then please help us improve our definitions down to indivivual species. In the meantime rest assured that Koh Chang has tree frogs, loads of ’em.
