Frogs are remarkably variable creatures. Many species adopt different colors or patterns by day or night. In some cases, males are different from females, and many species can change their appearance remarkably when breeding.
Field Guide to the Frogs of Queensland provides a comprehensive photographic guide to the 132 species of frogs in Queensland, Australia’s most species-rich state. Species profiles list common and scientific names, as well as information on size, call and preferred habitat for each species. Many species of frogs in Queensland are threatened in some way. For these species, conservation status is given on a state, federal and international level.
Generously illustrated with one or more photographs for each species, the book also includes distribution maps, line illustrations which demonstrate key features, and keys to each family, genus and species.
