About the Frog
The White-Lipped Tree Frog, Nyctimystes infrafrenatus, is the world’s largest tree frog, reaching a length of up to 15cm. Native to New Guinea and parts of Australia, they have vibrant green backs with cream coloured undersides. The lower lip has a distinctive white stripe, which continues to the shoulder. Their colours and patternation serve as a form of camouflage, allowing the frog to blend into the lush green foliage of its rainforest habitat.
These frogs have adhesive toe pads that enable climbing and clinging to various surfaces with ease, even the slippery surfaces of wet vegetation. The toes are completely webbed, and the hands are partially webbed. They are primarily nocturnal, emerging from their daytime hiding spots to forage for insects, which they capture using their long, sticky tongues. This dietary preference makes them valuable allies in controlling insect populations within their ecosystem.
Breeding season for the white-lipped tree frog typically occurs during the wet season when rainfall is abundant. Males use their distinctive loud calls, which resemble a series of short, melodious trills, to attract females. Once a suitable mate is found, the male clasps onto the female's back in a mating embrace known as amplexus. Together, they deposit their eggs on vegetation overhanging bodies of water as many arboreal frogs do, leaving them to develop without further input.
