The white-striped tree frog (Zhangixalus hui) is a frog. It lives in China and Vietnam. People have seen it between 600 and 2100 meters above sea level.[2][3][1]

Scientists used to think this was the same species as Rhacophorus dugritei, but they changed their minds in 2008.[3]

People have seen this frog in forests near wet places and bodies of water and paddies. The female frog makes a nest out of foam and lays her eggs in holes near water. People have seen it between 3050 and 3350 meters above sea level.[1]

Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in a large place. Human beings cut down forests and build things for visitors. Scientists think climate change could also hurt this frog because it causes dry times and floods.[1]
