Philautus
Philautus is a group of shrub frogs. This group of species is in the family Rhacophoridae. They live in Asia. Some frogs in this genus are now extinct, meaning there are none alive now, but others live in large numbers. Scientists are not sure how the different frogs are related to each other or to other frogs.[1]

These frogs never swim as tadpoles. They hatch out of eggs as froglets, or small frogs.[2] Some frogs bury their eggs in soil. Others lay eggs on leaves.[3]
Group
In 2009, scientists from Delhi University found many frogs in the forest in the Western Ghat Mountains.[4]
