Zhangixalus suffry is a species of flying frog first described to science in 2007. [1] It is endemic to the eastern Himalayas and India. [2]

This frog lives in swampy places, but it has also been observed in banana and nut plantations and other cultivated areas. The frog has been observed between 60 and 1889 meters above sea level. [1]

Scientists believe this frog is arboreal and breeds through larval development. [1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because of its large range. This frog's range includes some protected parks: Nameri National Park, Dihingpatkai Wildlife Sanctuary, and Namdapha Tiger Reserve. Scientists believe deforestation and pollution may pose some threat. [1]

<i>Rhacophorus bipunctatus</i> Species of amphibian

Rhacophorus bipunctatus is a frog species in the moss frog family (Rhacophoridae) found from eastern India into Southeast Asia, possibly to southeastern China and south to Malaysia. Due to the identification problems surrounding this species, the eastern and southern limits of its range remain undetermined; all that is known is that the species certainly occurs in the border region of India, Bangladesh, China and Myanmar; its range might extend south to Malaysia, as similar frogs have been reported from Pahang.

<i>Rhacophorus kio</i> Species of amphibian

Rhacophorus kio is a species of flying frog in the family Rhacophoridae and is found in the rainforests of southeast Asia, in countries such as China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its ability to glide and its adhesive toe pads make it well adapted to its habitat of the rainforest. Prior to a 2006 study by Annemarie Ohler and Magali Delorme, R. kio and R. reinwardtii were thought to be the same species. The common name black-webbed treefrog can refer to either species. Compared to other frog species in the area, R. kio not only creates a foam nest that holds their eggs, but also creates a structure with leaves that will wrap around the eggs. While the conservation status of the species is currently classified as of least concern by the IUCN Red List, R. kio faces habitat loss from deforestation to make space for agriculture and other human influences.
