Indian Skittering Frog
The Indian Skittering Frog (Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis) is a common dicroglossid frog found in South Asia. It is known under numerous common names, including Indian Skipper Frog or Skittering Frog. They are often seen at the edge of bodies of water with their eyes above the water. They noisily move away from the shore when disturbed, giving them their common name. They are rarely seen outside water.
Of the eight species of skittering frogs found worldwide, seven exist in India, and one new species was discovered only in 2016.
