A short video for some species I saw this past summer.
Hope you enjoy (sorry for my shaky hands lol)

Re: Amphibians of Gaoligong Mountains in SW Yunnan, China
Nice finds! I appreciate the fact that you included some calling frogs, as few things bring me greater peace than to hear a chorus of frogs at night. That Hyla annectans looks very similar to our Hyla andersonii (Pine Barrens Treefrog), yet it sounds almost identical to Hyla squirella (Squirrel Treefrog). Very interesting.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoy it! I saw so many other cooler species, but forgot to film them...mtratcliffe wrote:Nice finds!

Yes the Old World Hyla looks almost identical to the ones in the US, I guess there is just not much motivation for them to change
