Nanorana vicina (common names: Himalaya paa frog, Stoliczka's frog, Murree frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in the Himalayan front of northern India and Pakistan. [2] Its natural habitats are high-altitude rivers, springs, and other running water in open forest and grassland habitats. There seem not to be any major threats to this species. [1] Behavior, habitat use patterns and morphometric traits of the overwintering tadpoles of this species has been found to be influenced by check dams built in the montane streams. [3] [4]
