Found this guy in a remote community i was staying in, i'm normally pretty good at distinguishing between the two but i couldn't tell with this one.

So is it a frog or a toad? It was about the size of a 10 cent peice.

Froggy

Gets the same ones at home i think.

A lot of people mistake frogs and toads now. Toads have little stubby toes with claws on the end as they dig burrows and sorta gallop on the ground rather than hop. This fellah has long slender toes deffinatly a frog :) :)
 
I'm starting to lean to more of the frog side too. But it definately had claws, there was no webbing.
 
Definitely a frog.

Cyclorana sp probably juvenile Long Footed....C. longipes.

Cheers Andrew
 
most frogs dont have huge amounts of webbing. even spotted marsh frogs dont have much and they spend lots of time in the water
 
We have no native toads and it most definitely isn't a Cane Toad.
