Myobatrachidae - Australian froglets

There are about 100 species in this family of frogs. They are all found in Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania. The species in this family live on land and are usually between 1-2 inches in length. They are found in a variety of habitats from deserts to mountains! One species, the sandhill frog, burrows head-first into sand dunes in western Australia. It has a squat body and muscular front legs.
The pouched frog is found on the east coast of Australia. The male has pouches on his sides that the tadpoles wriggle into. They stay in the pouch until they are frogs!
