Additional Information: Courtesy of Damon Ramsey Northern Barred Frog A large leaf brown frog with striking barring on the legs and large dark eyes. It has the habit of lowering its head and lying flat against the ground when disturbed, likely trying to blend in with the forest floor upon which it usually sits. And indeed, the beautifully subdued browns of it's skin enables the frog to blend in perfectly with its habitat of the leaf strewn rainforest floor.
The call of this frog is a deep “waaarhhhhk”. It has the largest tadpole of any frog species in Australia. This species lives in the rainforests of North Queensland, and appears more common at higher altitudes. Script: Courtesy of Damon Ramsey BSc.(Zool) Biologist Guide
