Notes:

Hear it... http://www.amphibiaweb.org/sounds/Litori... "This Australian species occurs from the southeastern corner of South Australia, east along the south coast of Victoria and into far southeastern New South Wales. Isolated populations occur along the coast and ranges of central New South Wales. It is widely distributed in Tasmania. It has also been introduced to New Zealand where it is widespread across South Island and in the southwest North Island. It has recently been discovered in Northland near Dragaville and they are known from around Auckland. It has been recorded up to 1,200m asl." - amphibiaweb.org http://www.frogatlas.com.au/frogs/frogsp... IUCN - least concern - no suprise when they come back after a ten year drought on the first day of rains

That's a great shot. They don't like posing very much, do they? You might hear this one celebrating the long awaited rain tonight!
