Leptomantis gadingensis, the Gunung Gading tree frog or Gading tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Malaysia,[1][2] where it has been observed between 0 and 150 meters above sea level.[3]
The adult frog measures 29.5 mm long in snout-vent length. The skin of the dorsum is brown in color with a dark intraorbital bar, dark blotches on the back, and some blue pigmentation on the flanks.[4]
This frog has been observed near undisturbed streams with fast-moving water. The male frog its 3 m above the ground and calls to the female frogs.[3]
Scientists classify this frog as not in danger of extinction because, despite its small range, that range consists of two protected parks.[3]
