Striped Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes peroni)

Striped Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes peroni), Watagan Mountains, New South Wales.

 

A common frog east of the Great Divide which occurs around ponds in backyards or in mountain streams. Males have large forearms to grip the females and emit a characteristic 'toc' call which is familiar to a lot of people.

 

This male was still calling despite having recently mated with another female (as the foamy eggs behind him attest).
