Habitat and Ecology: | It is an inhabitant of dry regions. It is found in woodlands, shrublands, mallee and open grassland as well as disturbed areas. It becomes active after rains and is buried in loam or clay soils much of the time. It breeds after heavy rain and flooding. Males call whilst floating in open, shallow and still water. Eggs are clumped together and are wrapped around and adhered to submerged vegetation in ponds, dams, ditches and flooded clay pans. Tadpoles are aquatic and take 4-7 months to develop. In "habitat preferences" "other" refers to "clay pans". |
Systems: | Terrestrial; Freshwater |
Major Threat(s): | Habitat loss/degradation associated with the expansion of agro-industry farming is a threat in some parts of the species' range. |
Conservation Actions: | The range of the species includes several protected areas. |
