Zhangixalus amamiensis, the Amami green tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Japan. Scientists had classified it as a subspecies of Rhacophorus viridis but reevaluated it in 2019.[2][1]
This frog has been observed between 50 and 650 meters above sea level, in forests near paddy fields and other wetlands. It breeds in those fields and wetlands by larval development.[1]
This frog has appeared in the international pet trade.[1]
The IUCN classifies this frog as at least concern of extinction because of its large range, which includes some protected parks.[1]
