Description: Amboli Bush Frog, a rare endemic arboreal tree frog from the Western Ghats of India, displays spectacular mating calls during the heavy monsoon, which can usually exceed 8000-10,000 mm a year. The males are usually smaller than the females and are carried to fertilize the eggs. The species is severely endangered with only small pockets left in the region's evergreen forest. This male was found close to the huts of Kalinga Rainforest Conservation Center in Agumbe, Karnataka, India.
