The serrate-legged small tree frog or serrated frilled tree frog (Kurixalus odontotarsus) is a frog. It lives in China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.[2][3] People have seen it between 250 and 1500 meters above sea level.[1]

This frog lives in forests and places where smaller woody plants grow. The tadpoles swim inditches or bodies of water that dry up for part of the year.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place. However, human beings cut down the forests where it lives to build farms and get wood to build with.[1]
