Quick Facts Zhangixalus puerensis, Conservation status ...

This frog has been observed in swampy meadows between 1400 and 2500 meters above sea level and in forests with trees in the families Juncus and Cyperaceae. The female frog makes a foam nest on grass near bodies of stagnant water, in which the tadpoles are presumed to develop.[1]

Scientists used to consider this frog conspecific with Rhacophorus dugritei but reconsidered in 2011.[1]

The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction because of its large range, which includes several protected parks, such as Gaoligongshan Nature Reserve, Wuliangshan Nature Reserve, and Ailaoshan Nature Reserve.[1]
