The northern corroboree frog (Pseudophryne pengilleyi) is a species of Australian ground frog, native to southeastern Australia.[2] It is differentiated by the southern corrboree frog by having slightly narrower and greener stripes, while also being smaller.[3] Northern corroboree frogs live in waterlogged grasslands and adjacent woodlands.[3] Northern corrboree frogs spend most of their time in the woodlands, going to the waterlogged grasslands in the summer to breed.[3] Females lay around 25 eggs in damp vegetation, and hatch when water levels rise.[3] The northern corrboree frog is listed as critically endangered and has decreased massively, due to chytrid, weeds, droughts, climate change, and livestock.[3]
