The Hongoshan whipping frog, Hungfu whipping frog or Hangfu tree frog (Zhangixalus hungfuensis) is a frog. It lives in China. People have seen it between 900 and 3000 meters above sea level.[2][3][1]

People have seen this frog in Hongfoshan between 800 and 1500 meters above sea level. It lays eggs in pools that have streams going into them. The tadpoles swim in the pools.[1]

Scientists say this frog is in danger of extinction because it lives in a small place. Earthquakes can kill these frogs and change the land. Human beings change the land to build infrastructure.[1]
