The LeSueur's frog, also known as the LeSuer's tree frog or stony creek frog (Ranoidea lesueurii), is a type of tree frog found in Australia. You can find this frog in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, and parts of Victoria.

Where LeSueur's Frogs Live

This frog makes its home in different kinds of forests. It lives in both dry forests and wet forests, like rainforests. LeSueur's frogs can also be found looking for food in areas where humans let animals graze.

Reproduction and Life Cycle

Female LeSueur's frogs lay their eggs in calm pools of water next to streams. They also choose other spots where the water doesn't flow too fast. The eggs are special because they stick to the bottom of rocks and other surfaces underwater.

Health Concerns

Like some other frogs, the LeSueur's frog can get sick from a fungal disease. This disease is called chytridiomycosis.
