White's tree frog (dumpy tree frog) (Litoria caerulea)

摘要

North and northeastern Australia and southern Papua New Guinea; introduced into New Zealand. White's tree frogs can be found in a variety of habitats, from moist to relatively dry forests to even around human settlements like parks and gardens, wherethey are usually found climbing branches, bushes or trees. White's tree frogs are popular amphibians in captivity because of their moderate size and interesting behavior. They may be considered a beginner's frog. Although this is a hardy species, White's tree frogs can suffer from the same problems that affect other species of captive amphibians, such as malnutrition, trauma and bacterial or fungal infections. Captive individuals are known to live as long as 23 years.
