Notes on ranges provided by Pennsylvania Amphibian & Reptile Survey. [2] Pennsylvania has 41 native species of amphibians, with 23 salamanders and newts, and 18 species of frogs and toads. Of these species, 13 are of special concern, 2 are threatened, 6 are endangered, and 1 species is extirpated.
Over 40 species are currently recognised. [1] These frogs have long toes with strong webbing between them, enabling the animals to jump from tree to tree, using the webbing to control a gliding descent, a form of arboreal locomotion known as parachuting. [2] This behavioral adaptation is the source of their common name, "flying frogs".

Wallace's flying frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) A flying frog (also called a gliding frog) is a frog that has the ability to achieve gliding flight. This means it can descend at an angle less than 45° relative to the horizontal. Other nonflying arboreal frogs can also descend, but only at angles greater than 45°, which is referred to as ...
