Great for decorating kids' parties!

I think we can guess why the blunt-headed burrowing frog is also known as the balloon frog.

We also visited Moodai Reserve with Brett from Brett Finds Frogs to meet a new friend - the Ornate Burrowing Frog!

These fantastic little frogs have an amazing array of Very Stylish Jackets!

Thank you Brett and Leigh!

destiny's children trick or treating!!! spooky season lives on in our hearts i suppose

(they're dressed up as the crew from the wizard of oz and yes i know gerard is green so he should have been the witch but u know what? rosamund convinced him to switch at the last minute and he didn't have the heart to say no but he isn't happy about it)

(also i forgot that canonically mother goose is supposed to be a "gangly baby" and i'm too lazy to change it rip)

#FrogFriday:

“he Australian Frog” (Giant Burrowing Frog aka Eastern Owl Frog, Heleioporus australiacus), 1st published image & scientific description by George Shaw & Frederick Nodder in The Naturalist’s Miscellany, Vol. 6, 1794-5, plate 200.

This large, endangered frog species is endemic to coastal areas of New South Wales & Victoria in Australia.

“This animal certainly cannot be numbered amongst the most beautiful of its genus: it is a species, however, which has never before been described, and is more peculiarly interesting from the circumstance of its being a native of the distant region of New Holland, which has added so many zoological treasures to the cabinets of natural history. Its rarity must therefore apologise for its deformity.” 🤨

It should be noted that Shaw was working from a dead specimen - I personally think they’re quite cute, as seen in this photo of a live one! 🥰

Today we have been learning about the fantastic work happening at Healesville Sanctuary’s Froggery to save the wonderful Southern Giant Burrowing Frog! 🐸
