Red-eyed Tree-frog. (Litoria chloris)
As this Australian frog lives at least 5m above ground in the canopy of the rainforests, it is seldom seen.
It descends only to breed, when large numbers of males congregate around temporary pools after heavy
rain and make a deafening chorus of deep growls. Its call is similar to a deep moan followed by a soft trill.
It is believed to be secure and common.
