Will go and have a look.<br /><br />Yes, found the museum site - the kids love hearing the frog calls esp the motorbike one - cracks them up!<br />Still not sure that I can choose from there which frog - matches the markings of the motorbike frog but not the noise.<br />Nevermind - happy to have the frogs regardless :)<br /><br />:)Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413684955650645277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299305260728392911.post-28074829697722474492011-11-24T08:38:58.282+08:002011-11-24T08:38:58.282+08:00The disease Obsi is talking about is called Chytri...The disease Obsi is talking about is called Chytrid fungus.

They were living in a backyard pool and ended up in a child's paddling pool, but what you said makes sense.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413684955650645277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299305260728392911.post-61002347825410897552011-11-15T12:55:11.799+08:002011-11-15T12:55:11.799+08:00Just to let you know, you're not supposed to t...Just to let you know, you're not supposed to take frog spawn and relocate it....<br /><br />On the surface it seems a stupid and unfair law, but there are several reasons why... <br /><br />one important one though is that there is a water-borne disease/virus thing (I forget it's name) that is destroying frogs all over Australia (basically it causes genetic abnormalities, so you get thing like tadpoles not growing legs when they grow into frogs... or they just die before they make it to frog stage).... and it's transmitted via water. So if a pond has it, if the frogs stay in that pond, it's contained..... if people remove frog spawn or frogs from an infected place (and there is no way to tell if it's infected other than testing the water), then the disease spreads into other water sources, and from there infects more frogs.<br /><br />Not sure what frog that is though - but it's cute! :DObsinoreply@blogger.com
