The striped burrowing frog (Ranoidea alboguttata) is a special type of tree frog that lives in Australia. People also call it the greenstripe frog or Australian striped treefrog. You can find this frog in Queensland, New South Wales, and the Northern Territory.
This frog is known for its amazing ability to survive in tough conditions. It spends a lot of time underground, waiting for the right weather.
Where They Live
These frogs live in different places. You can find them in forests. They also live in grasslands. These grasslands often get covered in water when it rains a lot.
The frogs like to be above ground when there's plenty of rain. This is when they can find food and move around easily.
Living Underground
When the weather gets dry, these frogs dig themselves into the ground. They often stay near ponds. They can stay underground for a very long time. Sometimes, they wait for years until the rain comes back. This helps them survive long dry periods.
Life Cycle
Scientists believe that striped burrowing frogs lay their eggs in water. The eggs hatch into tadpoles. These tadpoles grow quickly. They change into frogs before the water dries up. This fast growth is important for their survival.
