Also known as the Australian, or Dumpy tree frog, is a docile, long-lived frog that is often found near human dwellings. It is a vocal frog, screaming or squeaking when frightened or annoyed. Its skin secretions have antiviral and antibacterial properties that provide it with resistance to infections that threaten other species of amphibians.
