Indirana bhadrai, the Bhadra leaping frog, is endemic to the Western Ghats north of the Palghat Gap. The adult male averages 30.2 mm and the adult female 38.7 mm in snout-vent length. It has been seen in secondary forest and near coffee farms, among leaf litter (Wikipedia, general species account).

The back is light brown with darker brown marks, with a grey-brown mark between the eyes and a snout lighter than the back. A black-brown mark runs from the nose tip through the eye to the armpit, the tympanum is grey-brown, and the legs and sides of the body are yellow-brown. Scientists infer that it breeds through larval development, like other Indirana (Wikipedia, general species account).
