Tadpoles of the squelching froglet are usually found in the shallows of permanent and temporary water. |
Among other creatures, the lake vicinity is home to an endangered species, the Wallum froglet, and a breeding ground for the endangered Loggerhead turtle. |
In some Eleutherodactylus species and in the New Zealand leiopelmatid Leiopelma hochstetteri, the hatching froglet still has a tail. |
The smooth froglet is found throughout northern and central Tasmania, where it occurs in wet and dry forests. |
Upon completion of metamorphosis, the tadpole emerges onto land as a young froglet or toadlet. |
