Marsupial Frog

About

How marsupial frog lives

Marsupial frogs carry eggs or young in a pouchlike fold on the female's back. The back pouch protects developing eggs away from open water. Rainforest animals often use bright color, unusual calls, or specialized diets in crowded ecosystems.

Conservation

Status and habitat pressure

Stable populations still depend on habitat quality, food availability, and low human pressure. Protecting marsupial frog also depends on keeping rainforest, forest habitats healthy and connected.

Common species still depend on habitat quality, clean water, food webs, and low disturbance.
