Amolops gerbillus, also known as the Yembung sucker frog or the gerbil stream frog,[2] is a species of frog found in South Asia. It is native to Bhutan,[3] northern and northeastern India, Myanmar, eastern Nepal and Tibet, where it is typically found in the south-facing foothills of the Himalayas, along high-elevation hillstreams, mountain creeks and ponds.[1] It is an amphibious species, spending equal time basking in the sun and swimming and hunting in the water.
