Raorchestes sahai, sometimes known as the Sahai bushfrog or Sahai bush frog, is a frog found by the Noa Dihing river near Gandhigram in Changlang district, Arunachal Pradesh, India.[1][2][3]
This frog has been observed between 600 and 1200 meters above sea level, in dense forest near the Noa Dihing River. This frog was found inside a hollow in a tree containing rainwater and dead leaves. The frogs have also been seen perched grass in a swamp.[1]
Scientists think this frog breeds through direct development with no free-swimming tadpole stage, like other frogs in Raorchestes.[1]
Scientists believe this might be the same species as R. parvulus, but further data collection is warranted to confirm this.[1]
