I LIVE IN ASIA
The Borneo eared frog is native to islands in southeast Asia such as Borneo, Indonesia, and Malaysia. These arboreal frogs prefer to live in forests and wetlands a few yards off the ground.
I AM A CARNIVORE
The Borneo eared frog eats other smaller frog species, as well as various insects and other invertebrates.
BORNEO EARED FROGS ARE SOCIAL
This tan-colored frog species exhibits primarily solitary behaviors, except during mating season when males will attract mates with a very distinctive call.
PUT ON A BUBBLE SHOW
The Borneo eared frog creates a nest for its eggs out of bubbles. These bubbles nests rest high above the water, and when the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water and begin swimming.

I AM IMPORTANT TO MY ECOSYSTEM
As a carnivorous species, Borneo eared frogs play a crucial role in keeping certain animal populations under control.
