The Darjeeling foam-nesting frog is a small tree frog from the Eastern Himalayas. It lives on bushes and trees in the mountains and builds foam nests for its eggs.
This species is distinguished by direct development without a tadpole aquatic stage and a special foam nest. The frog helps maintain balance in mountain forests by eating insects and serving as food for other animals.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
