White's Tree Frog

White's Tree Frog, Litoria caerulea

White's Tree Frog, also known as Dumpy Tree Frog, or Australian Green Tree Frog, has a range from Australia into Papua New Guinea to Indonesia. The nickname dumpy comes from fat layers that grow on the top of the head when overfed. As with other tree frogs, this species has large adhesive pads on their fingers and toes making them excellent climbers. While a tropical species, the Australian Green Tree Frog can live in  arid areas. This is in part due to the waxy cuticle skin of the frog preventing water evaporation.

This species is a common sight in zoos, aquariums, and other similar institutions due to the ease of care and the education value. While this particular frog lives in Texas, the species as a whole is from Australia.
