The northern tree frog, Burmese whipping frog, vacal sacless tree frog, Smith's striped tree frog, or upland tree frog (Polypedates mutus) is a frog. It lives in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, China, Laos, and India.[2][3] People have seen it between 500 and 1100 meters above sea level.[1]
This frog lives in and near forests. The female frog lays eggs in water that does not move: rice paddies, marshes, and ponds.[1]
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place, but they believe people cutting down its forests may harm it.[1]
