Helen's Flying Frog. This newly discovered frog was first recorded in January of this year, so there isn't much information about it. However, this frog is known to be able to fly using its huge webbed feet. A frog glides through the forest canopy of South Vietnam, hiding from predators. Females have patches of skin on their powers that look like wings of sorts, which help them in flight. Their large feat help them attach to tree branches after their flight is over. Helen's flying frog - Rhacophorus helenae is quite large in size, sometimes reaching ten centimeters in length. It was discovered by an Australian scientist in Vietnam, near Saigon. The scientist named the frog after his mother.
