Australia has over 240 known species of frog, almost all of which are found nowhere else in the world. Some species are flourishing, like the Striped Marsh Frog (pictured). But others have declined dramatically since the 1980s, and four have become extinct. Croaks, whistles, bleats and barks - every frog species makes a different sound!
