The Naked Treefrogs"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>About a week ago I was finally able to &#8216;investigate&#8217; which species of frog had been calling next door to our property. It was either <i>Litoria dentata<\/i> (Bleating treefrog) or <i>L. rubella<\/i> (Naked treefrog) since their calls are very similar. I&#8217;ve since learnt that <i>L. dentata<\/i> makes a higher pitched trill than <i>L. rubella<\/i>. So anyway, once seeking permission and arriving there, the search began. Below are just a few photos of what I found.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_235\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-235\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/l_rubella_1_16.12.12.jpg\" alt=\"Litoria rubella\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" class=\"size-full wp-image-235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/l_rubella_1_16.12.12.jpg 600w, https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/l_rubella_1_16.12.12-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-235\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Litoria rubella<\/i> (Naked treefrog)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_234\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-234\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/l_rubella_2_16.12.12.jpg\" alt=\"Litoria rubella\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" class=\"size-full wp-image-234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/l_rubella_2_16.12.12.jpg 600w, https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/l_rubella_2_16.12.12-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-234\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Litoria rubella<\/i> (Naked treefrog)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_233\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-233\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/l_rubella_3_16.12.12.jpg\" alt=\"Litoria rubella\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" class=\"size-full wp-image-233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/l_rubella_3_16.12.12.jpg 600w, https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/l_rubella_3_16.12.12-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-233\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Litoria rubella<\/i> (Naked treefrog)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So it turns out they were Naked treefrogs calling and the ones which I found. I found nine all up, and about 45-odd cane toads. Naked treefrogs can be identified by their call but also the dark patch they&#8217;ll have just above their thigh on their back. The groin can be a yellow colour. It&#8217;s funny how there are quite a few next door to us but I haven&#8217;t found one on our property. <\/p>\n<p>Naked treefrogs are also known as Desert treefrogs, Ruddy treefrogs and Red treefrogs. This was only the third occasion I&#8217;d seen this species so that was a bit exciting. I&#8217;m still yet to find a Bleating treefrog though!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a week ago I was finally able to &#8216;investigate&#8217; which species of frog had been calling next door to[&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":251,"href":"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246\/revisions\/251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/froggingaround.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
