Описание
[ редактировать ]
Рычатая травяная лягушка представляет собой очень большую земляную лягушку до 10 см (почти 4 дюйма) от морды до вентиляции . Это пестрый ярко -зеленый и бронзовый цвет выше, часто с темно -коричневыми эмалированными ударами. У него бледно -кремовая нижняя сторона, со слабым узором для булыжника. Бледная полоса бежит от боковой части головы по флангам в виде кожи . Бедра сине-зеленый цвет.
There are a series of shallow bumps over its back. This frog closely resembles the green and golden bell frog (Ranoidea aurea), but is distinguished by the shallow bumps on its back, a shorter call, and a slightly different head and snout shape. The tympanum is visible in these frogs.
The tadpoles are also very large (up to 9.5 cm or 3.7 in). The tadpoles often have a coppery pigment along their sides and an iridescent green sheen along their backbones.
Ecology and behaviour
[edit]This species is associated with large swamps, permanent dam impoundments, ponds, and lakes (particularly ones with reeds) in woodland, shrubland, open and coastal areas.
This frog is an agile climber, but is most often found among dense reeds or along swampy grasslands. It hunts and basks in the sun during the day. Growling grass frogs reportedly hunt other frogs by zoning into the sound of their calls.
The call is a three part moaning "craw-ork ar-ar", rising and then falling in tone (described as the sound of a duck or goose being strangled). The males develop black, rough nuptial pads on their thumbs during the breeding season, which occurs during spring through to late summer. Females have the ability to hiss when threatened. The eggs (up to several thousand) are distributed in a loose pile. The tadpole stage lasts approximately 12 weeks.
This frog has declined across much of its range and has disappeared altogether from some regions (such as the Australian Capital Territory and the lowest 200 KM of the River Murray). Several populations along the River Murray have been stabilised through the regular managed delivery of water to breeding locations (for example in the Lower Murrumbidgee catchment in New South Wales and the Riverland region of South Australia). Frogs are regularly recorded in suburban Melbourne and Geelong, with similar records from regional cities. Animals released from the pet trade established in the Adelaide Hills in the 1990s but this population is now extinct.[2]
As a pet
[edit]It is kept as a pet; in Australia, this animal may be kept in captivity with the appropriate permit.
