The Yunnan bush frog (Gracixalus yunnanensis) is a frog. It lives in Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and China, in Yunnan Province.[2][3][1]

The adult male frog is 26.0–34.2 mm long from nose to rear end. The skin of the frog's back is yellow-brown or red-brown in color. The iris of the eye is bronze in color. The male frog has an organ on its neck for making sounds and round, spike-like shapes on the back.[4]

This frog lives in evergreen forests. People have seen it between 1678 and 2166 meters above sea level. Scientists think this frog lays eggs in pools of water.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place. One of the places this frog lives is a protected park: Pu Mat National Park in Vietnam.[1]
