Let’s Begin…
What's one thing that every living creature on earth needs?
Water.
We know that frogs require a wet environment in order to survive. However, there's a species of frog that inhabits areas with only a few months of rainfall each year? Meet the Litoria platycephala -- a frog species withsome pretty cool ways in which they overcome the limitations of the harsh Australian environment.
Why do the strategies that the Water Holding Frog uses differ from the frog species found in tropical areas (like the Queensland rainforests) and temperate areas (like the grasslands and cool mountain ranges in Victoria and Tasmania)?
