The Australian tree frog is also known as the white’s tree frog and dumpy tree frog. Their coloration varies from jade green to blue-green or olive, with occasional white markings. Like most treefrogs, it has adhesive disks on its toes.
This amphibian is unusually tolerant of drought; its loose, deeply folded skin allows it to absorb a large amount of water.
Males give out a harsh, barklike courtship call.
