The long-snouted frog (Litoria longirostris) is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is endemic to Australia. The frog is also known as the long-nosed tree frog,[2] scrub rocket frog,[1] and sharp-snouted frog.[3]
Habitat
Its natural habitats in Australia are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, intermittent rivers, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.[3]
Reproduction
Unlike most Litoria, the long-snouted frog attaches its eggs to tree trunks, rocks, or under leaves out of water.[4]
