Corroboree frogs comprise two species of frog native to the Southern Tablelands of Australia. Both species are small, poisonous ground-dwelling frogs. The two species are the southern corroboree frog and the northern corroboree frog. They are unique among frogs in that they produce their own poison rather than obtain it from their food source as is the case in every other poisonous frog species.
The giant burrowing frog or eastern owl frog is a large frog species that occurs in coastal south-east New South Wales and Victoria in Australia. It is also known as the owl frog, southern owl frog, spotted owl frog, burrowing owl frog.
The pouched frog, or hip pocket frog, is a small, terrestrial frog found in rainforests in mountain areas of south-eastern Queensland and northern New South Wales, Australia. It is one of two species within the genus Assa, the other being Assa wollumbin and is part of the family Myobatrachidae.
The spotted grass frog or spotted marsh frog is a terrestrial frog native to Australia. It is distributed throughout all of New South Wales and Victoria, eastern South Australia, the majority of Queensland, and eastern Tasmania. It is also naturalised in Western Australia, having been unintentionally introduced at Kununurra in the 1970s, apparently during the relocation of several hundred transportable homes from Adelaide.
The Jervis Bay tree frog, also known as the curry frog in reference to its odour, is a species of Australian frog associated with wallum swampland along the east coast of New South Wales; ranging from the Queensland border to eastern Victoria.
Fletcher's frog, commonly known as the sandpaper frog or black-soled frog, is a species of nocturnal, terrestrial frog native to eastern Australia. It is primarily found in wet sclerophyll forests along mountain ranges and the coast.
The Bibron's toadlet or brown toadlet is a species of Australian ground-dwelling frog that, although having declined over much of its range, is widespread through most of New South Wales, Victoria, south-eastern Queensland, and eastern South Australia, including Kangaroo Island. Bibron's toadlet settles in a wide variety of habitats within these region but they mainly reside in dry forests, woodland, shrubland, grassland, coastal swamps, heathland, and sub-alpine areas. They deposit their eggs in leaf litters during the flooding season, which is essential for the proper development of the egg. This species has high sexual dimorphism within the species and utilizes chemosignals to attract potential mates.
The red-backed toadlet is a species of ground frog native to the coast and adjacent ranges of eastern Australia, from just north of Sydney to South-eastern Queensland.
Tyler's toadlet is a species of ground frog that is found in coastal areas in southern New South Wales and eastern Victoria.
Haswell's frog is a small ground frog found around coastal swamps in eastern Australia from around Port Macquarie, New South Wales to the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. It is the only member of the genus Paracrinia.
Fleay's barred frog is a large species of frog restricted to small pockets of rainforest in northern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland, Australia.
The large toadlet or great toadlet or major toadlet is a species of ground-dwelling frog native to eastern Queensland and northern New South Wales, Australia.
The long-thumbed frog, Fletcher's frog or barking marsh frog is a species of non-burrowing ground frog native to south-eastern Australia. The species belongs to the genus Limnodynastes. The twelve species in the genus are characterised by a lack of toe pads. Following phylogenetic analysis, the species was placed in L. peronii clade group alongside L. depressus, L.tasmaniensis and L. peronii.
The streambank froglet or Flinders Ranges froglet is a small, locally common, Australian ground-dwelling frog, of the family Myobatrachidae.
The giant banjo frog, giant pobblebonk frog, giant bullfrog, or great bullfrog is a species of frog, endemic to Australia, in the family Limnodynastidae. Fry was the first to recognise the species of Giant Banjo Frog as a distinct subspecies of Banjo Frog, differing from the similar Southern or Eastern Banjo Frogs which occupied most of eastern Australia.
Sloane's froglet is a species of frog in the family Myobatrachidae. It is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland and intermittent freshwater marshes in and around the floodplains of the Murray-Darling Basin
Geocrinia laevis, the smooth frog, southern smooth froglet, smooth froglet, or Tasmanian smooth frog, is a species of frog in the family Myobatrachidae. It is endemic to Australia and found in Tasmania, southwestern Victoria, and the extreme southeast of South Australia.
Dendy's toadlet is a species of frog in the family Myobatrachidae. It is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitats are temperate forests, temperate grassland, rivers, intermittent rivers, swamps, and intermittent freshwater marshes.
The northern corroboree frog is a species of Australian ground frog, native to southeastern Australia. It is differentiated by the southern corrboree frog by having slightly narrower and greener stripes, while also being smaller. Northern corroboree frogs live in waterlogged grasslands and adjacent woodlands. Northern corrboree frogs spend most of their time in the woodlands, going to the waterlogged grasslands in the summer to breed. Females lay around 25 eggs in damp vegetation, and hatch when water levels rise. The northern corrboree frog is listed as critically endangered and has decreased massively, due to chytrid, weeds, droughts, climate change, and livestock.
The southern corroboree frog is a species of Australian ground frog native to southeastern Australia.
