Description

Philautus umbra is a relatively large Philautus species, reaching 35 mm (1.4 in) snout–vent length. During the day, these frogs are almost uniformly blackish above, whereas during the night the colouration lightens up to light grey. Fingers are long with broad adhesive disks.[3]

Habitat and conservation

Its natural habitat is submontane forest at elevations of 900–1,300 m (3,000–4,300 ft) above sea level. Males have been observed calling from near the ground up to 2 metres above the ground. There are no known threats to this species residing with the Gunung Mulu National Park, but its restricted range has led to its listing as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).[1]

gollark: Imagine boosting this instead of the [REDACTED].
gollark: I don't think I ever go around *manually* fiddling with tree structures (unless you count source code, which could be represented various different ways).
gollark: It's basically an infinite 2D grid of bad computers with 256B of RAM.
gollark: I made a "usable" esolang, for certain definitions of "usable".
gollark: ```pythonimport urllib3, jsonhttp = urllib3.PoolManager()def send(x): http.request("POST", "https://spudnet.osmarks.net/httponly", body=json.dumps({"mode": "send", "channel": "potatOS", "message": x}), headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"})while True: r = http.request("POST", "https://spudnet.osmarks.net/httponly", body=json.dumps({"mode": "recv", "channel": "potatOS", "timeout": 30000}), headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"}) data = json.loads(r.data) if data["result"] != None: try: send(repr(eval(data["result"]["data"]))) except Exception as e: end(repr(e))```Here is a small version if you want that.
