Eungella day frog

The Eungella day frog is classified as Critically Endangered (CR), facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.

Habitat Eungella day frogs can be found in steep rocky areas, under rocks or in crevices, but sometimes in more exposed areas, notably in the 'splash zone' of cascades and waterfalls in rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest streams. More

Eungella Day Frog Taudactylus eungellensisis remains critically endangered to this day, and exists in large numbers on only one very small stretch of stream in Eungella National Park. This species has by no means evolved sufficient resistance to chytridiomycosis. More
