Moss frog (disambiguation) facts for kids

Moss frog is a name that can refer to different types of frogs. It's a common name, which means it's used for more than one kind of animal.

Sometimes, "moss frog" refers to frogs from the genus Arthroleptella. These are small, true frogs that live in southern Africa. They are often found in damp, mossy areas, which is how they got their name.

Other times, "moss frog" can mean frogs from the family Rhacophoridae. These frogs are found in the tropical parts of the Old World, like Asia and Africa. Many of them are known as "tree frogs" because they live in trees, but some also live among moss and plants on the ground.
