Profile
Scientific name:	Rhacophorus prasinatus

Features:	The Emerald green tree frog is the largest of the green tree frogs found in Taiwan. Females are bigger than males and can grow to up to 6cm in length. Emerald green tree frogs have yellowish-green or grass green colored backs, yellowish-white bellies, irregular black stripes on the sides of their body and the undersides of their hind legs, and golden folds of skin around their eyes. Their most distinguishing characteristic is their granular skin.
Behavior:	Emerald green tree frogs are commonly seen in hills, orchards, tea gardens, bamboo groves, and bushes at the base of mountains. They are active all year round and seek out water sources at night. They breed from March to May and from September to October, and their low, deep voices can be heard quite distinctly on damp, rainy days. Their white foamy egg clusters can often be seen attached to bushes or on the walls of water holders in tea gardens, and when they finally hatch, the tadpoles that emerge are blackish-green in color. Occasionally, several frogs will lay their eggs in the same area, interconnecting all of the eggs into one huge and spectacular foamy cluster. Adult Emerald green tree frogs feed primarily on flies.
Habitat:	Emerald green tree frogs are endemic to Taiwan. A rare species, they are only found in broad-leaved forests at low altitudes in northern Taiwan.
