Stuttering frog. The stuttering frog has a call like a kookaburra in a hurry: “kook kook kook kra-a-ak … kruk … kruk”. Quite a chunky frog (up to eight centimetres in length), it is also known as the southern barred frog because of the stripes on its arms and legs. Stuttering frogs live near fast-flowing streams in the wet forests along the east coast of Australia, from north-eastern Victoria to southern Queensland – but have only been found in Victoria on three occasions, and may now be extinct in this state. Many populations of stuttering frogs have disappeared. (Photo by Joel Sartore/National Geographic Photo Ark/The Guardian)
