Frog Atlas Australia Print E-mail

Frog Atlas allows you to learn about some of Australia’s frogs, while helping to build an interactive map of frog distributions. The Atlas is the next stage of two long-term Frog Census programs that have been running in South Australia and Melbourne has evolved thanks to the input of our partners.

Frog calls vary between species and provide a simple means for gaining information about where frogs are found. By learning to identify frog calls and contributing them to a central, mappable site, together we can build up a picture of what is happening to our neighbours, the frogs.

 

Focus Species

Shoemaker Frog

Neobatrachus sutor

The shoemaker frog lives in grassland areas near water-filled claypans. Its name comes from its call which is a short tapping sound repeated regularly which sounds like a shoemaker tapping nails into a shoe.
