Platyplectrum ornatum (Ornate Burrowing Frog)

                      An Ornate Burrowing Frog (Platyplectrum ornatum) [Myobatrachoidea; Limnodynastidae], from Mungo Brush, Myall Lakes National Park, New South Wales, Australia.

This burrowing species is locally very common and even abundant on the Quaternary sand dunes along the Myall Lakes and Port Stephens coast in New South Wales. During the day the frogs remain burrowed in the sand, emerging at night to forage. They leave distinctive 'footprints', or tracks, leading to and from the location where they are burrowed (visible in this photo). Breeding occurs in very temporary water, where tadpoles can develop in as little as 11 days (Anstis, 2017).
