Striped Marsh Frog
Limnodynastes peronii
The striped marsh frog is a medium-sized Australian ground frog found in marshes, ponds, ditches, flooded grassland, and suburban gardens. It forages mostly at night, sitting low among vegetation or leaf litter and snapping up insects, worms, spiders, and other small invertebrates. Males are well known for a repeated “toc” or “whuk” call, often heard around still water after rain. Its bold lengthwise stripes help break up its outline among reeds and damp ground.
