Range
Endemic to the central and northern Nicobar Islands
Minervarya nicobariensis, the Nicobar frog or Nicobar cricket frog, is endemic to the Nicobar Islands of India, restricted to the central and northern group. It was once considered the same species as Fejervarya andamanensis of the neighbouring Andaman Islands but is now regarded as valid. It is relatively common in suitable habitat, particularly on Car Nicobar (Wikipedia, general species account).
Its preferred habitat is grassland, where it breeds in rainwater puddles. On Car Nicobar it also occurs in coastal wetlands and along newly cleared forest trails (Wikipedia, general species account).
