Common Chinese Treefrog

<em>Hyla chinensis</em>, commonly known as the common Chinese treefrog, is an amphibian species found in Taiwan. It typically inhabits freshwater environments, moist forests, and wetlands, often occurring near ponds, streams, rice paddies, and other water bodies where it breeds during the warm season. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting a currently stable population within its limited geographic range. Common Chinese treefrog belongs to the genus <em>Hyla</em> within the family Hylidae. It is a small, arboreal frog that typically spends much of its life in vegetation above ground, descending to water primarily to breed. Like other tree frogs, it possesses adhesive toe pads that facilitate climbing on smooth surfaces such as leaves and stems. Biological traits such as average lifespan, body length, and mass of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. As an amphibian species, it is potentially sensitive to habitat loss, water pollution, and climate-related changes affecting its freshwater breeding habitats in Taiwan.
