The masked frog, also called the masked rock frog or masked cave frog (Litoria personata), is a type of frog that lives in Australia. You can find it in a special area called the Arnham Land Escarpment, which is in the Northern Territory.
Where They Live
These frogs like to live in different places, including forests and grasslands. They are good at hiding! You can often find them tucked away under big rocks or in small cracks within rocks. This helps them stay safe and cool.
Life Cycle
The masked frog lays its eggs in hidden spots. They often choose small cracks in rocks or tiny pools of water. Scientists are still learning a lot about their eggs and how the baby frogs develop.
