genus of amphibians From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kurixalus is a group of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae.[1] Scientists have studied exactly how these frogs are related to other frogs, and they have changed their minds many times about what to call these frogs. The scientists decided to make Kurixalus a group after looking at the frogs' DNA. These frogs live in the Himalayan mountains in eastern India southward and eastward into Cambodia, Vietnam, southern China, Taiwan, and the Ryukyu Islands.[2]
