Keira's shrub frog (Roarchestes keirasabinae) is a frog. It lives in India. Scientists have seen it in many parts of the Western Ghat mountains 100 to 1,000 meters above sea level.[2][3][4][1]
This frog lives in forests, high in where the branches come together like a roof. It has been seen in a few forests that were cut down and are growing back. Scientists think this frog hatches out of its egg as a small frog like other frogs in Raorchestes.[1]
Scientists think this frog is at some risk of dying out because, even though it lives in a large place, that place is broken up into smaller places and the frogs cannot move between them easily. This frog lives in forests, and people have built farms in between.[1]
