Justifiably named, we always find them clinging to rocks in fast flowing streams. Although we have observed them in fewer streams than Odorrana chloronota, when we do find them, they seem to be there in larger numbers.

We've been carefully measuring suctions disk to finger ratios of all the Amolops that we find, so if this article is correct; www0.hku.hk/ecology/porcupine/por32/32-vert-3-frog.htm
then this would be a new recording outside of Lantau for this species in the Hong Kong territory.

Found under reptile mats during survey work. It had lost the tip of its tail before I arrived.
These were quite common and calling noisily from vegetation next to, or overhanging, a forest stream within Kinabalu National Park, at approximately 1585m above sea level.
Luckily we spotted this small juvenile hiding under our car wheels before we drove off, I managed to collect it and put it in a safer hiding spot in the nearby trees.
Found in a storm drain, this little hatchling was less than 20cm long and very docile.
A tiny hatchling (less than 20cm), this one tried to hide under the tyres of my car, I moved it to some nearby bushes.
It emerged from dense cover and paused around a small pond before heading back into the forest.
This crossed the road ahead of us and headed down towards a marshy area.
This snake was extensively hunting up and down through this small channel and into the adjacent ponds, but totally ignored this Asian common toad.
A very commonly found lizard in Hong Kong and on cooler days is very often found sunning itself on concrete or sunny shrubs.
Found asleep inside a water catchment storm drain (presumably stuck).
Found within a rotting log, next to a forest stream, in Kinabalu National Park, at approximately 1585m above sea level.
The hotel staff kindly came and let us know that this guarded nest was hatching. We got to watch the hatchlings dig their way out and dash down to the sea, running the gauntlet of ghost crabs.
The second smooth snake (of four) that we were lucky enough to find on various heaths near Poole in Dorset. This one was on the move and I just got a couple of shots before it disappeared into dense heather.
The first of our 'lucky four' smooth snakes that we found on various Dorset heaths. This one was basking right in the middle of the small trail we were on.
