The broad-palmed frog (Litoria latopalmata) is a frog from eastern Australia. It lives in Queensland and New South Wales.[2][3]
This frog likes to live in forests and woodlands and on flood plains near rivers. It also lives in billabongs and other permanent and semi-permanent bodies of water.[2]
It lays eggs in groups underwater. The tadpoles take 50-90 days to become frogs.[2]
