About Zhangixalus dennysi (Blanford, 1881)
Zhangixalus dennysi can grow up to 10 cm (3.9 in) in length and produces an unusually loud call. This frog has adhesive disks on its toes, which help it climb and cling to trees and branches. It also has extensive webbed skin between its toes. When jumping from a branch, this webbed skin stretches, letting the frog glide between branches or trees. The frog can also adjust its feet while in mid-air to steer its glide. This species lives in moist forests across lowlands, mountains, and hills near streams. It typically inhabits primary forests, and has been recorded at elevations ranging from 80 to 1500 meters above sea level. It feeds on insects. Females of Zhangixalus dennysi lay their eggs in foam nests, which they attach to branches and grasses that hang over water. They build these nests by beating a frothy secretion into foam using their hind legs. The tadpoles of this species develop in paddy fields, water-filled holes, ponds, and marshes.
