Some Rhacophoridae are called "tree frogs". Among the most spectacular members of this family are numerous "flying frogs".

The eggs are laid in the foam and ...

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 ...
