Species: Malabar Gliding frog

Location: Amboli, Maharashtra

Malabar Gliding frogs are a nocturnal species. In the nights, the forests echo with their calls, and during the day, everything falls silent. I have always wondered where they disappear during the day until i found this specimen, holding on to a tender leaf, camouflaged, and fast asleep.
