The Medog bubble-nest frog or Medog small tree frog (Gracixalus medogensis) is a frog. It lives in China. Scientists have only seen it in one place: Medog County in Xixang, but they think it might live in India too. People have seen this frog between 1200 and 1500 meters above sea level.[2][3][1]

Scientists saw this in rainforests in warm parts of the world. They found it on small, woody plants near a lake.[1]

One of the places this frog lives is a protected park: Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon National Nature Reserve.[1]
