WEBSITE REVIEW

It’s not easy, being

green

FROG lovers are advised tohop on into the wonder-fully informative websitethat is Frogs of Australia.

The site provides loadsof information on Austra-lia’s many amphibiousmarvels.

It boasts: ‘‘This is the de-finitive guide to the frogsof Australia, providing de-scriptions, distributions,images, breeding calls, andmore for every frog inAustralia.’’

Being able to discoverwhat frogs reside in yourparticular area is a fantas-tic option.

So, for instance, a clickon the NT on the map ofAustralia soon leads you toa point where you maychoose from four Territoryregions.

It turns out that thereare 29 frogs listed as occur-ring in the region of Kak-adu and Arnhem Land,among them the giant frog,the long-footed frog, thenorthern dwarf tree frogand, of course, Dahl’s aqua-tic frog.

Kermit the Frog oncecrooned: ‘‘It’s not easy, be-ing green.’’

Fortunately it’s now a loteasier being green thanksto this website.
