Five Maniacle Cackling Frogs in a Jar

‘Maniacle Cackling  Frog” is another common name of the Perons tree frog, Litoria peroni.  The males call   in Spring  with an increasingly loud “cra-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahk”.

These  tree frogs  like wet and dry environments and when not spawning can be found long distances from water.  These were  found in an old drum beside our shed. Their skin colour changes to blend in with the surroundings , they were all dark brown in the murky water of the drum but after 5 mins on the table for a photo sessions they have turned white grey .
