#2588 - Ranoidea aurea - Green and Golden Bell Frog

Originally described as Rana aurea, in 1827. Later renamed Litoria aurea.

A large frog deliberately introduced from Sydney to Auckland in the 1870s ( WHYYYYYYYY????????? ). Although in some respects it's just as well it was, because chytrid fungus, habitat loss, predation by the introduced Eastern Mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki, and pollution has wiped out the frogs from much of their original range in coastal SW Australia. But the populations in Aotearoa and other Pacific islands that they were introduced to are also starting to crash.

The frog survives in some areas of Sydney, including the Brickpit at the proposed site for the tennis courts for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The tennis courts were built elsewhere, thankfully.

This, friends, is what it looks like when you draw a frog from a desiccated specimen.

A green and golden frog hides between bricks inside a sauna at the research centre of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. Hundreds of endangered green and golden bell frogs huddle to protect themselves from Sydney’s winter chill. The sauna offers warmth and protects the frogs from the deadly chytrid fungus that would otherwise drive them to extinction - Photograph: Saeed Khan/AFP/Getty

It's called a green and gold bell frog.

I found a Motorbike Frog (Ranoidea moorei) in my garden the other night.

They came out after a heavy storm and downpour (which is very unusual at this time of the year here in Noongar Country.
