Nanorana parkeri (common names: high Himalaya frog, Xizang Plateau frog, Parker's slow frog, mountain slow frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Tibet (China) and in Nepal, but it is expected to be found also in Bhutan and parts of India.[2] This very common frog is found on high-altitude grasslands, forests, shrubs, lakes, ponds, marshes, streams and rivers in the Tibetan Plateau. There are no known major threats.[1]
Nanorana parkeri are medium-sized frogs: males grow to a snout–vent length of about 44 mm (1.7 in) and females to 48 mm (1.9 in). Tadpoles are up to about 51 mm (2.0 in) in length.[3]
