Orange-thighed frog

The orange-thighed frog (Ranoidea xanthomera) is a species of tree frog native to a small area of tropical northern Queensland, Australia.

It is a slender frog, with a thin body, flat head, and large eyes, which are orange in colour.

It is distinguished, physically, from the red-eyed tree frog by the presence of bright-orange thighs; the red-eyed tree frog has mauve thighs.

Male orange-thighed frogs congregate around still ponds, and call from low branches, or the edges of the water.

The tadpoles are identical in appearance to those of the red-eyed tree frog.
