The Green and Golden
Bell Frog
The Green and Golden Bell Frog is an endangered
species from the south east coast of Australia. It is
one of the larger australian frogs and it can grow to
a lognth of four and a half inches.
It is usually found in places with ponds
and rushes with some grass nearby, but it can often
be found in very disturbed places even in suburban Sydney.
In New South Wales the frog can only be
found in about 50 places and it is so rare that it is
listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act.
The Green and Golden Bell Frog has decined
due to habitat destruction and the introduction of a
foreign fish the Plague Minnow which eats the eggs and
tadpoles.
