The frog pictured above is Litoria fallax. You can view pics of Litoria brevipalmata on my Rainy Days blog post.

I guess I should say it’s a fairly typical tree frog pose. Ground-dwelling frogs would obviously have a bit of difficulty getting into that position!

If a frog did that here in the UK I’d be mighty impressed 😉 😀 lol

Are you sure the top one is Litoria fallax?

Yep. It’s a species with considerable variation in colouration. Besides, if it wasn’t L. fallax, Evan would have corrected me immediately!

Cheers.

Very nice froggie shots.

Are you sure the top one is Litoria fallax?

Litoria brevipalmata is found there, but it wasn’t the species I heard calling. It wasn’t L. gracilenta either. There was a colony of this unknown species in a flooded area by a path. They were calling from thick vegetation, which made tracking down an individual impossible for us.

I’d take a wild guess and go with Litoria gracilenta, just because it’s very rare to hear but still a common species.

I’ve been trying to find a species list for the forest. When I get that I’ll listen to the calls of those species and see if I can figure it out. I’ll take my video camera next time so I can record some sound.
