Geckoes Wildlife – Fiona.
Green tree frog. We have quite a large range of tree frogs in Australia. One of the biggest tree frogs in the world. Only the boys croak. Normally they feed at nighttime. They have huge mouths right up to their ears so they can eat things the size of their own head such as mice small animals insectivorous bats small frogs. She tried him on a worm and he ate it. It’s eyeballs descend into their head to push the food down into their stomachs. The frog kept turning round so its back was to us. Frogs have very few ways of defending themselves. They don’t bite or scratch. But if they get upset they can wee on you – an icy-cold jet. They have been reported living in captivity up to 20 years. The old females can get huge. Fiona held the surface the frog was on quite vertically – their feet stick. They have quite long legs. They have amazing skin with a lot of antibiotics and antifungals in their skin and cirillian in Green Tree Frog skin which is used in hospitals for gut problems.
