Denny's whipping frog, Denny's gliding tree frog, Denny's large tree frog, large tree frog or Blanford's whipping frog (Zhangixalus dennysi) is a frog. It lives in China, Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar.[2][3][1]

This frog lives in forests in low places, on mountains, and near streams on hills. This frog lives mostly in forests that have never been cut down People have seen it between 80 and 1500 meters above sea level.[1]

This frog has a very loud voice.[1]

The tadpoles swim in paddy fields, holes full of water, ponds, and marshes.[1]

Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out but it is in some danger because people change the place where it lives: People go into the forest to take things they need. People change the forest into small farms. Dirty chemicals, fires, and changes in the water can also hurt this frog. In some places, people catch this frog to eat or sell as a pet.[1]

Some of the places this frog lives are protected parks.[1]
