Truong's tree frog (Gracixalus ziegleri) is a frog. It lives in Vietnam. Scientists think it might live in Laos too.[1]
Scientists found this frog in a forest with karst rock in the ground. People have seen this frog between 1000 and 1200 meters above sea level.[1]
The adult male frog is 32.2–33.1 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 37.6–39.3 mm long. There is more webbed skin on the back feet than on the front feet. The skin of the frog's back is green in color, like moss. There is a green mark in the shape of the letter Y on the back.[2]
Scientists named this frog for Doctor Truong Quang Nguyen, a scientists from the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology.[2]
