Kinabalu Sticky Frog
Kalophrynus baluensis
Kalophrynus baluensis is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Mount Kinabalu in Sabah.
''Kalophrynus baluensis'' is unusual in that it appears to have diverged from its closest known relative that is not endemic to Mount Kinabalu before the mountain reached its present elevation. Most other Mount Kinabalu endemics are younger than the mountain , and thus appear to have evolved there relatively recently.
