Microhyla heymonsi’s Dark-Sided Chorus Frog can be as small as 2.5 centimeters long. It is yellowish-brown, has a white belly, a thin white stripe on its back, and distinct black bands on its sides.
It makes a very loud kriiiiiik sound despite its extremely small size. It is nocturnal, like many other species on this list, and typically eats insects and other small invertebrates. In many of our parks, you can usually find the Dark-Sided Chorus Frog near small ponds and puddles.
The slender, long limbs of the Cinnamon Bush Frog (Nyctixalus pictus) make it stand out. Its body is typically brown or reddish brown, and it has either white or yellowish spots on it. The tips of its feet are flattened to its digits. This frog frequently uses tree cavities to lay its eggs. Usually at night, the males make soft “poop” sounds. Both the Bukit Timah and Central Catchment Nature Reserves are home to the cinnamon bush frog.
This species can also reproduce in artificial containers, as previous research has demonstrated. In order to expand their range, NParks has relocated this species to suitable locations and is currently monitoring them.
