The Vietnamese bubble-nest frog or Annamite jelly-nest tree frog (Feihyla palpebralis) is a frog. It lives in Vietnam in the Langbian Peaks. Scientists think it might live in Laos or China too.[2][3][1]

People see this frog near swampy streams on mountains between 700 and 2000 meters above sea level.[1]

The female frog lays eggs on plants over the water. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the pond. She lays about 52 eggs at a time.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in much danger of dying out because it lives in a large place. However, human beings have cut down the trees in the forests where it lives to build farms, especially for things to sell for example coffee , rubber, and tea. Two of the places this frog lives are protected parks: Kon Cha Rang Nature Reserve and Kon Ka Kinh National Park.[1]
