Giant Barred Frog (Mixophyes iteratus)
A Giant Barred Frog, Mixophyes iteratus, from the Watagans National Park, New South Wales, Australia.
This is a relatively endangered frog which prefers larger, slow-flowing, rivers and streams in rainforest.
The population of this species in the Watagans is near southern limit for the distribution of this species (which currently occurs south at least to the Colo River in New South Wales). Several years ago, in the Watagans, after the impact of chytrid fungus, the species was very rare in this area. Nowadays however it is very common and is found right throughout the rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest sections of the Watagans National Park.
