The Himalayan whipping frog or Himalayan tree frog (Polypedates himalayensis) is a frog. It lives in Bhutan and India.[2] People have seen it between 100 and 2000 meters above sea level.[1] Scientists used to think this was the same frog as Polypedates maculatus.[1]
This frog can lay eggs in streams, rice paddies, wetlands, canals, and other bodies of water.[1]
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place and because it can live in places that humans have changed.[1]
