Water frog

Description

This small water frog has greenish-brown skin,speckled with black and yellow flecks,and is well camouflaged as it sits under tree roots or stones.On close inspection it is possible to see that its rather robust body has many small bumps,known as pustules,on the back.The undersides of the legs are orange,and the underbelly and throat are grey.The hind legs are long and slender,suited to propelling the frog through water,and its feet are only partially webbed,indicating that it spends part of its life on land.Juveniles of this species are greener than adults with more yellow flecks.
