Maliau Basin - home of one of the world's smallest frog!

Variable Sticky frog (Kalophrynus heterochirus) and only found in Borneo (Sabah, Sarawak & Kalimantan).
Whilst the acidic waters in the rivers of Maliau Basin support relatively few fish species, more than 30 species of amphibians have been found , including  a frog that makes it's home in pitcher plants! This specie is just a mere 1/2 in. The following photos demonstrates how tiny this frog is!
