A pair of Green And Gold Frogs (Litoria raniformis), listed as vulnerable across Tasmania. These two handsome froggos were spotted grabbing some sun at the Tamar Wetlands in 2003. A nice example of how much variation there is in their colouring.

If I recall, on this day they were happy making noises somewhere between a cow and a chainsaw.
