Turtle Frog (Myobtrachus gouldii), family Myobatrachidae, found in Wandoo, WA, Australia
- What hath God wrought?!
- These burrowing frogs dig forward, like a turtle, and not backwards into the soil, like most frogs.
- After pairing up, a couple descends into a burrow, where they later mate, and then lay eggs. The offspring go through the larval stage in the eggs (not having a free swimming tadpole stage).
- The feed on termites.
