Litoria caerulea (Green Tree Frog)

Status: Least Concern.

Putting on my Sheldon Cooper hat for a second: Do you want to hear an interesting factoid about Green Tree Frogs? Yes you say, OK great.

This was the first species of frog identified in Australia, and one was taken back to England by Joseph Banks where it was kept till the Germans, seeing it's strategic value, blew it up in WW2.

Tell me more you say! Ok here goes.

The species was originally called the "blue frog" because the specimens were sent back England in alcohol, which destroyed the yellow pigment in their skin, so all that could be seen was the remaining blue pigment. This just goes to prove how untrustworthy science is. ;-)

Please note the wink. It's scary to think I know people that might agree.
