Corroboree Frog

This is the first post in the glory of nature. This blog will be dedicated mostly to endangered species. The first will be the Corroboree Frog. 

The two species of frog are critically endangered. Pseudophryne corroboree, and Pseudophryne pengilleyi are indigenous to Australia. They are black with yellow/light green stripes.These frogs produce their own poisonous alkaloids as opposed to obtaining their poison threw diet. The decline in populations is attributed to a variety of reasons including habitat destruction (from pollution, development), a drought cycle that affected southeast Australia. Drought drys out the breeding sites and as a result, less frogs. 

These small amphibians are amazing. It would be nice to have them for generations to come.
