Open encyclopedia reference
Philautus kakipanjang, also known as the western long-legged bush frog and long-legged bush frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. As currently known, it is endemic to Sarawak in the Malaysian part of Borneo and recorded with certainty from two mountains, Gunung Serapi and Gunung Gading. Furthermore, there is an acoustic observation from Gunung Santubong that probably can be assigned to this species. The species is probably more widespread in the mountains of western Sarawak, if not beyond.
