Flying frogs have evolved independently among 3,400 species of frogs from both New World (Hylidae) and Old World (Rhacophoridae) families and their evolution is seen as an adaptation to their life in trees, high above the ground. Characteristics of the Old World species include "enlarged hands and feet, full webbing between all fingers and toes, lateral skin flaps on the arms and legs, and reduced weight per snout-vent length". These morphological changes contribute to the flying frog's aerodynamic abilities.
