Frog

HABITAT:

Found in vegetated, rocky, swift flowing streams in mountainous areas between 200 and 1110 m. above sea level.

DESCRIPTION:

A medium-sized female are 61 mm and males are 50 mm in length. The back of the frog varies in color between pale brown, bright green to olive-gray, with or without darker blotches and usually with numerous small raised 'warts'. The underbelly can be pale often with light orange towards the rear and under the hind limbs. The toes and fingers are flattened.

THREATS:

Human activities such as road building, timber harvesting, herbicide use, in stream structures and inappropriate fire regimes and possibly grazing kill off the spotted tree frog. The small size and isolation of most populations exposes all to the risk of one-off events.
