Wallace's frog (Rhacophorus Nigropalmatus) is a large frog that is capable of gliding up to 50 feet. Although 1000 years is a very short time in terms of evolution, I still predict that this frog will adapt to its natural environment as it changes due to humans. For example, as humans start to chop down trees that Wallace’s frog uses, rainforests where the frogs live will become more fragmented, and frogs that cannot glide between the larger distance created by this fragmentation will be eaten by predators. This means that frogs who have the ability to fly the furthest, will survive. This will change the appearance of the frogs, meaning frogs who fly the furthest probably have the largest feet and a lighter, smaller body for more efficient gliding. Wallace’s will also become more pale to blend into buildings, rather than the bright green they use to hide in trees.
