Xenorhina Parkerorum

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Xenorhina parkerorum is a species of frog in the Microhylidae family. It is found in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montanes, rural gardens, and heavily degraded former forest. Frogs are amphibians in the order Anura (meaning "tail-less", from Greek an-, without + oura, tail), formerly referred to as Salientia (Latin salere (salio), "to jump"). Most frogs are characterized by long hind legs, a short body, webbed digits (fingers or toes), protruding eyes and the absence of a tail. Frogs are widely known as exceptional jumpers, and many of the anatomical characteristics of frogs, particularly their long, powerful legs, are adaptations to improve jumping performance.
