The Australina water-holding frog is a desert dweller than can wait up to 7 year for rain.

The water holding frog can draw its internal organs in tight to keep them all moist. They also secrete a form of mucus over themselves which preserves water in their bodies. They can go several years without water, and when it rains, they will all come up. Rainy season is mating season. When it rains, the males will look for a mate. Mating ensues quickly, and the tadpoles metamorphosis much quicker than an ordinary frogs.

Albanian water frog was created in 1987.
