The Medog ridge-nosed tree frog (Nasutixalus medogensis) is a frog. It lives in Tibet, in China.[2][3] People have seen it 1619 meters above sea level.[1]

This frog lives high in the trees where the branches come together like a roof.[1]

Scientists think human beings changing wetlands could hurt this frog.[1]
