The White-lipped Green Tree Frog (Litoria infrafrenata) is Australia’s largest tree frog, reaching 11–14 cm in length. Its bright green body is complemented by an off-white belly and a distinctive white stripe along the lower lip that extends to the shoulder. In breeding males, this stripe (and sometimes parts of the hind limbs) takes on a faint salmon-pink hue.
An arboreal species, it inhabits tropical habitats, favouring rainforests, monsoon woodlands, cultivated areas, and urban gardens across north-eastern Queensland. It also occurs in New Guinea and nearby islands. Nocturnal and agile, it spends most of its life in trees, descending only to breed. Its call is a distinctive, loud “wark, wark” reminiscent of a small dog barking, changing to a meow-like sound when distressed.
The White-lipped Green Tree Frog feeds on insects and other small invertebrates. Breeding typically follows rain in spring and summer, when males call from elevated perches near still water. Females lay large clumps of eggs in water, where tadpoles develop before metamorphosing. This hardy species can live for over 10 years in the wild and is listed as Least Concern.
