Raorchestes bobingeri (Bob Inger's bush frog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to the Western Ghats, India.[2][3] It has been observed between 1030 and 1300 meters above sea level.[1]
This frog lives in trees in primary and secondary forests. It has been observed at former logging sites but does not otherwise tolerate habitat disturbance.[1]
Scientists classify this frog as near threatened because of its relatively large, nonfragmented range. The frog lives in three protected parks: Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, Ponmudi Reserve Forest and Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary.[1]
