Frog Atlas Australia
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
Main's Frog
Cyclorana maini
Main's frog are fairly large frogs living in grasslands and claypans in arid regions of Australia. The development of tadpoles can occur rapidly, within several weeks, which enables them to breed in unpredictable water supplies that dry rapidly. Their calls sound like bleating of sheep.
