Toad-ally amazing, Aussies can’t stop croaking

And the Museum is pleased: more than 47,000 Australians have recorded frogs in their ponds, pools, streams and wetlands and submitted their FrogID recordings from across 39 per cent of continental Australia.

The Museum says keen frog lovers have helped build an unparalleled database of frog biodiversity — a vital resource for conservation, research, and understanding our environment.

Everyone who submits a recording eventually receives a report from the Frog ID experts at the Museum, identifying the frog species they recorded. Given the numbers, there is a backlog but the Museum says it is getting smaller each week.

If you want to know what frog calls you are enjoying in and around your home or property - and are happy to contribute to the database - just download the Frog ID app onto your phone and follow the instructions.
