Polypedates cruciger
Polypedates cruciger (commonly known as the Sri Lanka whipping frog or common hour-glass tree-frog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae endemic to Sri Lanka.[2][3] It has been osbserved as high as 1600 meters above sea level.[1] This frog can tolerate different habitats, including secondary forest, banana farms, gardens, and buildings. Scientists have not seen this frog in primary forest.[1] Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out because of its large range and tolerance to altered habitat.[1] Scientists used to think frog was conspecific with Polypedates pseudocruciger, which lives in India's Western Ghat mountains.[1] References
