The Moaning Frog, or Heleioporus eyrie, is an insectivorous terrestrial (ground dwelling) frog found in the sandy-soiled swamps and surrounding bushland of southwest Western Australia.
This frog can grow up to 6.6cm in size, and has quite a rotund stomach. Its skin is mottled in shades of brown, grey and yellow.

AWESOME October - school holidays at the WA Museum - Perth!
Western Australian Museum Aquatic Zoology scientists and colleagues from partner agencies (Queensland Museum, Museum Victoria, Herbarium of Western Australia and Curtin University) are setting off on another exciting fieldtrip to the Kimberley and possibly as far north as Ashmore Reef, dependent on the weather. The project has been running since 2008 and this is the second last year of fieldwork. The scientists are documenting the marine biodiversity of the Kimberley, one of the most understudied marine regions of Western Australia.
This photo gallery documents some new crab species discovered by our junior Aquatic Zoology department.
Join us daily from 10.00am - 2.00pm during the October school holidays at the Western Australian Museum - Perth for more creative marine-themed craft activities..
This activity is proudly supported by Woodside.
