Frog IDs

[smacdonald]

Anyone able to ID these frogs? All found on the Sunshine Coast, Qld, last night. No cheating.

All animals were caught under permit.

PS: Eipper, you're not allowed to play. I know you know them!

You know, we often joke about burning animals' eyes out with our high-powered flashes. I never knew it could actually happen...




I didn't mean for this to happen. At least it was self-cauterising

Hmm. I might try
1st: Crinia signifera or tinnula
2nd: L. olongburensis
3rd: L. freycineti
4th: Wouldn't have a clue....

My best guess is:

1. Bufo marinus
2. Bufo marinus
3. Bufo marinus
4. Litoria fallax

Hi reptilesDownUnder

What do you mean? They were italicised :?

My mistake. Clearly I'm losing my mind. Please accept my sincerest apologies. I will issue you with a complete refund, plus a 10% credit to be used on any in-store purchase. I will also give you a little hug the next time I see you.

In solidarity,

Uncie Stew

I'd say,

1. Crinia tinnula (the frog looks like its on sand and tinnula is a coastal species. Plus the striped form is more common in this species)
2. Litoria olongburensis (a rather nice green one I might add, I was unable to find any completely green specimens)
3. Litoria freycineti
4. Bufo (Rhinella) marinus

Yep, Aaron and Dan are correct. I was out looking for wallum frogs, and wallum frogs I found.

How can you call it "one night of pleasure" when it's going soft already?

I have no idea! Except for the last one. It's a cane toad.
