Liebig's Paha Frog

These frogs which are found in mountain streams in oak and coniferous forests are much sought after for their medicinal value. Depending upon who you ask, they will say it is good for diarrhea, libido or lactating mothers. As research about the medicinal value of these frogs are non-existent it is anybody's guess whether it really is medicinal. Medicinal or not, they are often also caught just to add meat on the table. Despite the veracity of its medicinal value and quantity of its nutritional value, the fact still remains that back in the days when various districts had to send an annual tribute to the power center in Kathmandu, Paha used to figure in the tribute of many constituents.
