Kurixalus eiffingeri, commonly known as Eiffinger's tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in Taiwan and on the Yaeyama Islands of Japan. Its natural habitats are broadleaf forests, bamboo forests, and mixed bamboo forests between 50 and 2000 meters above sea level. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Kurixalus eiffingeri is a small to medium-sized frog with rough skin and a robust body. The adult male frog measures 31–35 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog 36–40 mm They breed in tree holes and bamboo stumps. Some male frogs have been observed guarding the eggs before hatching. Tadpoles are oophagous, and female frogs lay trophic eggs to feed their young. Tadpoles of this species have been reported to avoid defecation until after metamorphosis. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eiffinger's Tree Frog sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 17th most-seen of the 18 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eiffinger's Tree Frog in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's wettest months, with about 260 mm of rain against 90 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eiffinger's Tree Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eiffinger's Tree Frog sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eiffinger's Tree Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Taipei (7 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
