The variable bush frog (Raorchestes akroparallagi) is a frog. It lives in India. Scientists have seen it in the Western Ghat mountains between 180 and 1425 meters above sea level.^[2]^[3]^[1]

People have seen this frog in many different kinds of places: evergreen forests, forests that have been cut down and grown back, teak farms, and plants near roads. The frogs sit on plants 1 to 2 meters above the ground. Like other frogs in Raorchestes, this frog hatches from its egg as a small frog and never swims as a tadpole.^[1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place and because it is good at living in places that human beings have changed. One of the places this frog lives, Parambikulam Tiger Reserve, is a protected park.^[1]
