Green tree frogs are one of the most common frog species in Australia and are distributed throughout the northern half of the country
They are usually a beautiful bright green, but depending on their mood can fade to a dark khaki green
A female green tree frog can reach 12cm in length – that’s big for a frog!
If taken by a predator, these frogs produce a loud high-pitched scream which may surprise the predator into dropping it
Their favorite foods are insects and small mammals
Their skin excretes a variety of anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties that have been useful in modern medicine
Whilst they are native to Australia and New Guinea, these frogs have also been introduced to some countries. In Florida, they are considered an invasive nuisance!
