The green-back tree frog (Zhangixalus dorsoviridis) is a frog. It lives in China and Vietnam.[2][3][1]
This frog lives in forests on mountains, between 25 and 50 meters away from streams. People see it sitting 2-3 meters above the ground on ginger plants. People have seen this frog between 1500 and 2200 meters above sea level.[1]
The male frog digs a hole under a rock and calls to the female frogs. The female frog lays her eggs in the hole. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles go to the stream or other water hole.[1]
Scientists say this frog is in some danger of dying out because it does not live in a very large place. People cut down forests to build things for visitors and farms, for example cardamom farms.[1]
Scientists think people might catch this frog to sell as a pet because of its colors. They do not know for sure if this has happened to Z. dorsoviridis, but people do this with other colorful frogs.[1]
Some of the places this frog lives are protected parks: Hoang Lien National Park, Copia Nature Reserve, and Bat Xat Nature Reserve. Scientists think it could live in Jinpingfenshuiling Nature Reserve and Guanyinshan Nature Reserve too.[1]
