Southern Bell Frog
The Southern Bell Frog (*Litoria raniformis*) is a large, green frog native to southeastern Australia. It is known for its distinctive bell-like call, which is most prominent during the breeding season. This species typically inhabits wetlands, ponds, and marshes, where it relies on aquatic environments for breeding and feeding.
Southern Bell Frogs have smooth skin and can vary in color from bright green to brown, often with dark spots. They are an important part of their ecosystem, helping to control insect populations. Unfortunately, their numbers have declined due to habitat loss and disease, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.
