The striped burrowing frog, greenstripe frog, or Australian striped treefrog (Ranoidea alboguttata) is a tree frog from Australia. It lives in Queensland, New South Wales and the Northern Territory.[2][3]
This frog lives in forests and in grasslands that are covered in water for part of the year. They spend a lot of time aboveground when it there is a lot of rain or water around, and they spend more time underground near ponds when the weather is dry.[3] This frog can stay underground for years waiting for rainy weather.[4]
Scientists believe this frog lays eggs in bodies of water and the tadpoles grow into frogs before these bodies of water dry up.[3]
