I don't think you mean 'this' frog Adarsha. Although superficially similar to a couple of other species, this one is limited to the Kimberley area of north-west Australia.

Thanks Mark for pointing that out. I've removed the brackets.

Magnificent !! One small thing Barbara - can you please put the scientific name without the brackets. That field is key to the PN database links and should be clean binomial names only. Thanks.
