livingart Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 But that's not the whistling tree frog that's the southen brown tree frog Common names get stuck on a few different frogs the binomial name ensures we are talking the same species.

Colour_genes Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Same creature. I quote from 'Reptiles & Amphibians of New Zealand' by Tony Jewell - "Whistling frog Litoria ewingii. ~ flash markings on thighs bright orange ~ In Australia known as the brown tree frog" I suggest you think carefully about the information above for a few minutes before you decide on a reply Enjoy your frog.
