The common tree frog, six-lined tree frog, Terei tree frog, Teraiensis whipping frog, or perching frog (Polypedates teraiensis) is a frog. It lives in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, and Nepal, and scientists think it could also livein China.[2][3] People have seen it between 40 and 1800 meters above sea level.[1]

This frog lives in many kinds of places, including tree farms, forests, and paddy fields. The female frog makes a nest out of foam on a plant over water. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place.[1]
