Chirixalus vittiger is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae.[2] It is endemic to West Java, Indonesia, and has been recorded in Mount Halimun Salak National Park and Pangalengan. Common names Indonesian bubble-nest frog and wine-coloured tree bubble-nest frog have been proposed for it.[1][2]

Habitat and conservation

Chirixalus vittiger occurs in vegetation surrounding ponds in mostly secondary montane forest at elevations of 950–1,219 m (3,117–3,999 ft) above sea level; it can also be found in ponds near pine and tea plantations. Females lay their eggs on leaves overhanging ponds and attend to them until the eggs hatch into free-living tadpoles.[1]

Chirixalus vittiger can be locally common. It is potentially threatened by habitat loss caused by small-scale farming, provided that the vegetation surrounding ponds in the plantations is completely removed. It is present in a number of small protected areas and in the Mount Halimun Salak National Park.[1]

gollark: I disagree.

gollark: Actually, prediction market good, and Krist is an excellent platform due to the lack of regulatory hurdles yet real* utility of it.

gollark: It basically replaces "who happens to have lots of GPUs to burn" with "who got in first".

gollark: Proof of stake is kind of bad though?
