Frog Species Recorded at
Kingfisher Park Birdwatchers Lodge
Tropical North Queensland has a very diverse frog fauna with 27
species endemic to the Wet Tropics rainforest. Some of the frogs
occuring over 500m have declined dramatically since the late 1980's,
in particular stream dwelling frogs. Some of these have been recorded
on the nearby Mt. Lewis. Many other species occur in the region
and are not confined to the rainforest.
Two frog species occuring within the Lodge grounds have recently
been split into three seperate species. The Northern-barred Frog
has been split and it is now Cogger's Frog occuring at the Lodge.the
other species in the split is the Carbine Frog which is found on
Mt. Lewis. Likewise the Lesueur's Frog split has resulted in the
Jungguy Frog being found in the Lodge grounds.
