Western Banjo Frog (Limnodynastes dorsalis)

They get their name because their call sounds like a banjo! A commonly heard, but not often seen frog native to Southwest Australia. They spend a lot of their lives burrowed underground or under leaf litter.

Haha, woah, their call really does sound like a banjo!

Is this your photo? If so, nice find!

Yep, I'm not a photographer by any means but I like recording all the different herps I find as best I can - cheers!

If two of these guys get into a fight, would it be a pair of dueling banjos? 🤔

Wow actually a remarkably well camouflaged fellow
