CORROBOREE FROG
The Corroboree Frog from Australia are tiny (3cm long) frogs found only in the sub alpine woodland and heath within the Mt. Kosciusko National Park area of the Snowy Mountains in NSW.
The species is endangered due to its exposure to a chytrid fungus disease which is highly contagious and the infection is always fatal. Endangered also due to climate change and pollutants which affects the snow and alpine rainfall patterns and the ecosystem, also resort development causing habitat destruction. As few as 200 adult frogs are left in the wild.
