🐸Have you ever heard of the “dumpy tree frog?” It’s a nickname that some locals use to reference the Australian green tree frog (Litoria caerulea).

It inhabits Australia’s forests, swamps… and sometimes even toilet bowls! With the help of its large mucus-covered toe pads, it’s able to climb and cling to surfaces with ease. The steady secretion of mucus also helps keep its toes clean by “flushing” out contaminants and leaving them behind in the footprints!
