Frogs (Order Anura) are a popular amphibian, particularly loved by us here at Ausemade. We have been very privileged to have encountered a few in our travels with some of our images provided here for you to enjoy. There are also frogs photos from many of our other wonderful contributors, including selection of frog species from the Queensland Southern Downs.

Main’s Frog (Cyclorana maini)

If you have a great image of frogs and would like to see them here, send us the image with details about the location, date of the photo, and anything else you may want to share with our readers. Include your name and alias you want to include with your photo. We have some great images of the Peron’s Tree Frog provide by Katrina of the Blue Mountains.

Desert Tree Frog (Litoria rubella), Simpsons Gap, NT, Australia.

The three modern orders of amphibians are Anura (that are the frogs and toads), Urodela (the salamanders), and Apoda (the caecilians, a group of legless amphibians). The number of known amphibian species is more than 8,000, of which nearly 90% are frogs. Of these the largest genus of frogs, which is also the largest genus of all vertebrates, is the Eleutherodactylus, also commonly known as the ‘rain frogs’ or the ‘tink frogs’.
