Frog - Southern Frog

Breeding season: December to February. Males call from concealed floating vegetation within waterbodies. Usually spawn in a small water-filled burrow or under thick vegetation in dams, ditches and slow flowing streams. Eggs (750-1250 and unpigmented) are laid in a foam mass. Tadpoles hatch when the water rises to flood the burrow.

Breeding season: spring, summer and autumn, after heavy rains. Males call most of the year, except summer, from concealed floating vegetation within waterbodies. Eggs are pigmented and contained within a large foam mass, which is concealed among aquatic vegetation or flooded burrow. It spends most of its life underground and emerges only after rain when its time to feed and spawn. It is powerful burrower and jumper.

Breeding season: late summer to autumn after heavy rainfall. Females lay 70-170 pigmented eggs in loose clumps, often coated in soil in a shallow burrow constructed by the male. The burrows will become flooded with winter rain. Males guard the eggs. A ground dwelling species which tends to walk rather than hop.

Breeding season: spring to early autumn. Females lay up to 4000 pigmented eggs enclosed in a white frothy floating foam raft hidden amongst aquatic vegetation.

Breeding season: throughout the year. Females lay 100-150 pigmented eggs usually found singly or in small groups often attached to submerged vegetation.

Breeding season: spring - autumn, after heavy rains. Females lay approximately 300 pigmented eggs, in a floating foam mass which is often partly attached to grasses. Eggs hatch three days after being laid. Males call from concealed floating vegetation within waterbodies.

Breeding season: after heavy summer rains. Females lay 20-200 pigmented eggs in loose clumps in small depressions in the soil. The eggs are often coated in soil or mud. Males guard the eggs. A ground dwelling species which tends to walk rather than hop.
