Rhacophorus vampyrus
''Rhacophorus vampyrus'' is a medium-sized species of flying frog endemic to Vietnam. It is found in montane evergreen forests at 1470–2004 m.〔 It is also known as the vampire tree frog〔 or the vampire flying frog because of the presence of a pair of fang-like hooks in mouth of the tadpoles.〔 Its Vietnamese name is ''Ếch cây ma cà rồng''.〔 The frog is adapted to arboreal living with webbings of feet that allow it to glide between trees. The first specimen was discovered in 2008 by Jodi Rowley of the Australian Museum at Sydney, Australia, and her student Le Thi Thuy Duong from Ho Chi Minh City University of Science. After collecting more specimens in 2009 and 2010, her team described the new species in the journal ''Zootaxa'' in 2010.
