What is a tree frog?
A spotted tree frog with a taxonomic name Litoria Spenceri , also known as Spencer's tree frog, is a frog species originally from a small area of southeast Australia in Victoria and Mt. Kosiuszko in New South Wales. This was first seen in 1901 and then it has been again for the next 50 years. It is estimated that since 2005 only approximately 3,000 live specimens have been estimated on a tree on a tree scattered across 12 isolated areas. They usually live in mountain areas of heavy vegetation next to streams and rivers. Sometimes it was also known to inhabit a lower, exposed terrain in the same areas.
As the frog types go, the tree frog is a relatively small sample in the family hylidae , while adult men measure around 2 inches (50 millimeters) of size and female and female and women and women are size and women and female. The colors of the frog on the back and exposed areas of the limbs and heads are usually spotted Olive-green or bright green mixed with some light brown or whiteThe color and abdomen and the underside of the limbs move from orange to light yellow or white. The evidence suggests that it prefers areas of rivers and streams, because the spotted terrain gives it good camouflage and needs a constant source of water. It is also known that he lives on the trees in the mountains and his fingers and fingers are sticky to allow him to climb with vertical surfaces.
The diet of spotted frogs is largely insects known to be inhabiting wet forest areas such as flying insects such as moths, ants or small spiders. The lifetime of the frog has been a mystery since 2011, but most are assumed that they have lived in the wild for about five to 15 years, while estimated that the spotted frog has lived for about 10 years. Frogs generally live shorter lives than toad, but some tree frogs can live for more than 25 years, such as litoria caerulea or a common frog green tree.
mating for a tree frog is inIt provides at the end of spring and early summer, from October to December. While the frog lives in distant, mountain areas that are rocky and largely inaccessible to larger animals, their number decreases. The offspring of the offspring have good masking signs of dark brown color with gold spots and golden eyes to match the stones in the water, and when the predators approach, they remain still. Nevertheless, it is believed that two of the primary causes of a decrease in the number of spotted tree frogs are the presence of an established trout into rivers and streams where they live, which feed on a large number of tadpoles and diseases caused by decreasing water quality, including the contamination of herbicides.
While the female tree frogs and lies anywhere from 300 to 1,000 eggs between the shallow river or stream stones, most of them do not survive to the mature. The Australian Environmental Protection Act and the protection of biodiversity of 1999 (EPBC) cited a tree frog as endangered. Efforts to prevent extinctionThe species include programs breeding in captivity, restoration of habitats and extensive research of their life cycle since 1994.
