Indirana duboisi, the Karnataka leaping frog or Dubois's leaping frog, is a frog. It is endemic to India in the Western Ghat mountains.[2][3][1]
This frog inhabits secondary forests and in forests with at least some evergreen trees. This frog needs some canopy cover and moist leaf litter. It has been observed on acacia and arecanut plantations. This frog has been observed between 80 and 1042 meters above sea level.[1]

This frog has semi-aquatic tadpoles that live on wet rocks and moss. They move using their strong tails and hind back legs, which grow in sooner than other tadpoles' back legs.[1]
