Raorchestes rezakhani

Reza Khan's shrub frog or Reza Khan's bush frog (Roarchestes rezakhani) is a frog.  It lives in India and Bangladesh. Scientists have seen it in places with evergreen trees. Between 59 and 64 meters above sea level.

The adult male frog is 18.85–20.90 mm long from nose to rear end. The skin of the frog's back is dark in color with small spikes and some spots. The nose is dark in color. The iris of the eye is brown in color. There are large disks on the toes for climbing. The disks can be red or white.

This frog lives in forests that have never been cut down and forests that were cut down and are growing back. People have seen this frog between 59 and 64 meters above sea level. Scientists think that this frog could be in danger from people cutting down trees even though it is against the law to cut down trees where this frog lives. One of the places the frog lives, Lawachara National Park, is a protected park.

Scientists named this frog for Dr. Mohammad Ali Reza Khan, an animal scientist from Bangladesh.
