The marsupial frog is not a marsupial, but an amphibian, like all frogs. Its adaptations include:

  • pale brown to reddish-brown colouring for camouflage
  • eggs do not need to be laid in water, but can be laid in moist soil, allowing terrestrial breeding
  • tadpoles are carried in hip-pouches by the male until they undergo metamorphosis (hence the name "marsupial frog") after they hatch, again allowing terrestrial breeding
