The Spencers burrowing frog (Limnodynastes spenceri) is native to southeastern Australia, primarily found in regions such as New South Wales and Victoria. This species typically inhabits grasslands and areas with sandy or loamy soils, which allow them to burrow. They are often associated with temporary wetlands, where they breed after heavy rains. Their burrowing behavior helps them survive in fluctuating environmental conditions.
Ornate Burrowing Frog was created in 1842.
Spencer's Burrowing Frog was created in 1940.
They are called burrowing frogs because of their burrowing ability. They are also known as the Eastern Owl Frog because of their mating call, which resembles the hooting of an owl.
