Frogs of Tasmania

Eleven species of frog occur in Tasmania, three of which are restricted to the State.

Brown Tree Frog
A common and widespread species often found in suburban gardens.
Common Froglet
This widespread species is by far the most abundant in the State.
Eastern Banjo Frog
Found throughout most of eastern Tasmania and to the north of Macquarie Harbour, this species has a remarkable banjo-like call.
Green and Gold Frog
The only Tasmanian species listed as vulnerable - as population levels have declined markedly over the past ten years.
Moss Froglet
The latest 'addition' to the Tasmanian frog fauna, discovered in 1992 in the beautiful Hartz Mountains.
Smooth Froglet
The smooth froglet is found throughout northern and central Tasmania.
Southern Toadlet
Found throughout the eastern half of Tasmania, this brilliantly patterned species is a close relative of the well-known corroboree frog.
Spotted Marsh Frog
Found throughout north eastern Tasmania, where it occurs in farm dams, open woodlands, creeks and coastal wetlands.
Striped Marsh Frog
An uncommon species confined to the far north-west and north-east, as well as King Island.
Tasmanian Froglet
Found only in Tasmania, this species is common throughout much of the State, often at high altitudes.
Tasmanian Tree Frog
Found only in Tasmania, the Tasmanian tree frog is restricted to the west of the State.
