The Patkai green tree frog (Gracixalus patkaiensis) is a frog. It lives in India, but scientists think it could also live in Myanmar. People have seen it 645 meters above sea level.[1][2]
The adult male frog is 23.6–26.5 mm long from nose to rear end. The skin of the frog's back is green in color with brown spots. There are many small spikes on the frog's back. There are dark marks on the sides of the head. There are white marks on the sides of the head. There are thin white lines on the side of the body. The eyelids over the eyes are dark brown in color. The iris of the eye is yellow in color with some brown. The nose is pointed in shape.[3]
This frog lives in evergreen forests.[3]
Scientists named this frog patkaiensis after the Patkai hills, where they found the frog.[3]
