Raorchestes bobingeri, commonly known as Bob Inger's bush frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. The species is native to India.
The specific name, bobingeri, is in honor of American herpetologist Robert Frederick "Bob" Inger. [2]
R. bobingeri is endemic to the Western Ghats of India. [3] [4] It has been observed between 1,030 and 1,300 meters (3,380 and 4,270 ft) above sea level. [1]
R. bobingeri 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 R. bobingeri 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]
