The concave-crowned tree frog or Yunnan whipping frog (Polypedates impresus) is a frog. It lives in China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.[2][3] People have seen it between 600 and 1000 meters above sea level.[1]

This frog lives in grass on hills.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place.[1]
