Green Tree Frog

Litoria caerulea

Description:

Alternate Names: White's Treefrog, Common Treefrog, Green Treefrog. The common green treefrog is a large, robust frog with moderately sized legs. Males grow up to 90 mm, and females to 113 mm. It is usually bright green with golden eyes, sometimes with white spots on sides and back. Like all tree frogs, they have large flat discs on fingers and toes to help with climbing.

Habitat:

Found in all habitats from desert to coastal swamps (including dry vine thickets) but not in dense tropical rainforest. In the dry season may be found under bark, in tree hollows, in and under logs and under rocks.

Notes:

The Common Green Tree-frog has a humble appreciation of human habitation such as lavatories, bathrooms, down pipes and any other damp and shady places. You may hear a deep "wark" or "crawl" call late at night, from down-pipes, hollow tree trunks or limbs during times of rain or high humidity.
