Amolops assamensis

The Assamese cascade frog, Assam stream frog, Assam cascade frog, or Sengupta's cascade frog (Amolops assamensis) is a species of frog. It lives in India.

Body
The adult male frog is 52.80-61.50 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 82.50-94.40 mm long. The skin of the frog's back is olive-green in color. It has brown marks on the back. The sides of the head are also olive-green in color with brown marks. The legs are yellow with red-brown marks.

Home
This frog lives in forests where the branches come together like a roof. People see them in streams where the water moves fast. They sit in places where the water splashes on the rocks. Scientists saw this frog between 80 and 1580 meters above sea level.

Scientists have seen the frog in some protected parks: Mayeng Hill Reserve Forest, Kolaghat Reserve Forest, Garbhanga Reserve Forest, Amchang Wildlife Sanctuary, and Nongkhylem Wildlife Sanctuary.

Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in some danger of dying out. Human beings change the places where the frog lives to make farms and places to live.  Scientists think people might catch too many frogs for food and medicine, but they are not sure.
