|  | Josh! Regular Member | Join Date: Mar-07 Location: Bulli, N.S.W Age/Gender: 23 | | | | Not a marsh frog. Definately a Litoria not limnodynastes.
Litoria ??
A rocket frog of some description. The pointy head and very elongate toes give it away. I leave it up to the amphibian experts to tell you exactly. Neph or Mattmc should come through for you.
P.S. Your hands don't look overly wet.....

by the way, that wasnt my hand in the picture, a friend had found him and picked him up to show me. she did wet her hands quite a few times, though they kept drying out. Didn't help that the only water near the college was chlorinated, so we didnt want to use that.

|  | is....McLovin Subscriber | Join Date: Oct-06 Location: northern suburbs-Sydney Age/Gender: 15 | | | | looks like Litoria nasuta to me. last time i encountered these frogs they could jump (hop) a good distance with the adults often 2-3meters. yes they are a rocket frog. can be a pain to photograph as they like to jump ALOT

I can understand how these guys can jump so far, with the length of their legs and the streamlined body. but this guy, strangely enough, never tried to jump at all.
