In General

The Green Tree Frog was once a common sight and sound in the Redlands area. Although the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resouces (IUCN) lists its status as a "least concern" species, the loss of habitat and the introduction of the cane toad has made the Green Tree Frog a less common sight.

Diet

Insects, spiders, smaller frogs and at times, small mammals.

Habitat

Dense foliage surrounding a water course, swamps and grasslands.

Breeding

Breeding occurs from December to February, usually after heavy rain, when the male can be heard calling. The female lays a large floating clump of eggs, numbering between 200 to 2000. The young complete their metamorphisis and become adult frogs in about 6 weeks.

Conservation status

Least Concern
