Australian green tree frog

Description:

A species of tree frog native to Australia and New Guinea, with introduced populations in New Zealand and the United States. The green tree frog is larger than most Australian frogs, reaching 10 cm (4 in) in length. The average lifespan of the frog in captivity, about 16 years, is long in comparison with most frogs. Green tree frogs are docile and well suited to living near human dwellings. They are often found on windows or inside houses, eating insects drawn by the light. The green tree frog screams when it is in danger to scare off its foe, and squeaks when it is touched.

Habitat:

Depending on their location, green tree frogs occupy various habitats. Typically, they are found in the canopy of trees near a still-water source. However, they can survive in swamps (among the reeds) or in grasslands in cooler climates. Green tree frogs are well known for inhabiting water sources inside houses, such as sinks or toilets.
