Common Mist Frog: Litoria rheocola
-
A
smallish frog usually coloured brownish or tan above and
whitish below, and often slightly spotty.
-
They have a fairly blunt snout, large
dull orange eyes, webbed toes and large toe pads.
-
On warm, wet nights their soft
but quite persistent 'wreeeek' calls can be heard from in and around rainforest
freshwater streams in the Daintree lowlands.
-
Here, they are usually found on the
boulders in and around the creek, and occasionally on the lower surrounding
vegetation.
-
This is one of the 'disappearing frogs', the rainforest frogs
affected by the population reductions since the 1980's.
