Southern Corroboree Frog
The Southern Corroboree Frog is a small, brightly colored amphibian native to the alpine regions of Australia. It is known for its striking black and yellow coloration, which serves as a warning to predators about its toxicity. This species primarily inhabits montane wetlands and is adapted to cold environments.
Unfortunately, the Southern Corroboree Frog is critically endangered due to habitat loss, climate change, and disease, particularly the chytrid fungus. Conservation efforts are underway to protect its remaining populations and restore its natural habitat, highlighting the importance of preserving biodiversity in Australia's unique ecosystems.
