  • Summary

  • Discover the turtle frog of Western Australia, a fascinating amphibian that thrives in arid environments. Unlike most frogs, it uses its powerful front arms to burrow deep into the soil in search of moisture. Even more intriguing, the turtle frog skips the tadpole stage entirely, with its young developing fully within the egg. This unique frog lays large eggs and never needs water for larval development, making it a true marvel of adaptation. Learn about its close relatives, the sandhill frogs, and dive into the science behind this extraordinary creature. For advertising opportunities, visit Avonetics.com.
