Philautus gunungensis is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to the Mount Kinabalu region, in Sabah (Malaysia), Borneo.[2]
Its natural habitat is tropical montane forest at around 1,400–1,500 m (4,600–4,900 ft) asl. There are no specific threats to it, and its known range is within the Kinabalu National Park. Nevertheless, its small range makes it vulnerable to stochastic events.[1]
Scientists have observed this frog's eggs and young inside the water in pitcher plants.[1]
