Fun fact(s): They get the “banjo frog” name from the fact that their call sounds a lot like a banjo - [video of one calling]. There are other banjo frogs as well!

just a heads-up—looks like that singing frog in the video you reblogged is a crucifix frog (Notaden bennettii), which isn’t a narrowmouthed toad (Microhylidae) as tagged but rather a member of the Australia+New Guinea-endemic family Limnodynastidae (aka Australian ground frogs (in part) or foam-nesting ground frogs)
Thank you. Really appreciate that you took the time to send this message. Sorry for the misdirection. The creature in the video is indeed Notaden bennettii. (Dryland frog whose habits remind me of beloved spadefoot toads of North America. Ought to have known: One memorable field guide that I had as a child described how the endemic frogs of Australian/Oceanian deserved notoriety alongside the more-famous endemic marsupials, and as examples the book referred to and included illustrations/photos of the “most amazing” which included the gastric brooding frog, marsupial frog, and the crucifix frog.) Went and looked up the source of the video. It comes from FrogID Australia’s social media, here:

Notaden bennettii
Notaden bennettii est une espèce d'amphibiens de la famille des Limnodynastidae.
Cette espèce est endémique de l'Est de l'Australie. Elle se rencontre dans l'ouest de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud et dans le sud-ouest du Queensland
Elle secrète une substance visqueuse de sa peau, et durcit en quelques secondes. Avec cinq fois la résistance à la tration des colles chirurgicales actuelles, cette colle est tout à fait remarquable. Elle est non toxique, fonctionne très bien dans l' eau, et forme un maillage hautement élastique et poreux. Elle a également l'effet très désagréable de sceller très rapidement et efficacement les pièce buccales de ses prédateurs.

Giant Banjo Frog (Limnodynastes interioris), family Limnodynastidae, NSW, Australia
The call of the male is similar to that of a banjo string being plucked, a loud "PLONK" noise.
