The sacred grove bush frog, Similipal bush frog, or boring bush frog (Raorchestes sanctisilvaticus) is a frog. It lives in India.[2][3][1]

This frog hides during the day and moves around at night. It lives in forests that have never been cut down. Scientists think it hatches out of its egg as a small frog, like other frogs in Raorchestes do.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is in big danger of dying out because it lives in a small place. Human beings have cut down the trees in the forests to get wood and to build things for visitors. Fires have also burned the forest.[1]
