Mating and reproduction
Rhacophorus vampyrus is a phytotelm (tree-hole) breeder, depositing eggs in foam nests in small tree-holes. The species is named after its unusual, ‘fanged’ tadpoles.
Conservation Status
Given the available information, we suggest the species should be considered Data Deficient following IUCN’s Red List categories.
