FLYING
FROGS
A Wallace’s f lying frog jumps
from a tall tree. It looks like it
is f lying through the air!

This frog
can glide 50
feet. That is
longer than a
school bus.
But this frog does not f lap like a
bird. The frog glides. It moves its
legs and feet to change direction.

N AT I O N A L G E O G R A P H I C
How does it do that? The frog
has skin between its toes. When
it spreads out its toes, the frog’s
feet are like little parachutes.
(Say PEAR-uh-shoots.)
SKIN
This frog
could fit in
the palm of
your hand.

Flying frogs
move from tree
to tree to find
food and escape
predators. To land,
it grabs a branch
with its padded toes.
TOES
Wallace’s
flying frogs
eat insects.
Sometimes
the frog glides
all the way to
the ground.
Whee!
