(med) Snow Frog (Phrin Las 1987).

Between the images of sbal pa (frog/toad)) and skyin gor in the Medical Thangkas is hardly a difference. sbal nag is identified with the Asiatic toad (Yeshi 2017), and the synonym gangs sbal (or da byid) is identified with the Mountain salamander.
But apart from the more terrestrial toads, there are some frogs known in Tibet. The Chinese brown frog, Rana chensinensis, is native to a large part of western China, Tibet and Inner Mongolia. It is prescribed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia for the drug Ranae Oviductus. The small High Himalaya frog, Nanorana parkeri, is found only on the Tibetan Plateau and Nepal, breeding at elevations from 2,800 m to almost 5,000 m, making it perhaps the highest elevation frog (amphibiaweb).
