Zhangixalus suffry is a species of flying frog first described to science in 2007.[1] It is endemic to the eastern Himalayas and India.[2]

This frog lives in swampy places, but it has also been observed in banana and nut plantations and other cultivated areas. The frog has been observed between 60 and 1889 meters above sea level.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is arboreal and breeds through larval development.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because of its large range. This frog's range includes some protected parks: Nameri National Park, Dihingpatkai Wildlife Sanctuary, and Namdapha Tiger Reserve. Scientists believe deforestation and pollution may pose some threat.[1]
