These toads go by a variety of names; the brown slender toad, the Matang stream toad, and the cricket-voiced toad are all commonly used to describe this species, whose scientific name is Ansonia leptopus. These slender fellows can be found Borneo, Sumatra, and Peninsular Malaysia, and are often found perched atop boulders and rocks near river banks at night. Images by Alexander Haas and Lars Fehlandt.
