[ 3 ] [ 4 ] Rheobatrachus silus was restricted to the Blackall Range and Conondale Ranges in southeast Queensland , north of Brisbane , between ...
These scientists from the University of Newcastle Australia led by Prof Michael Mahony, who was the scientist who first discovered the northern gastric-brooding frog, Simon Clulow and Prof Mike Archer from the University of New South Wales hope to continue using somatic-cell nuclear transfer methods to produce an embryo that can survive to the ...
Indobatrachus (Greek for "Indian frog") is an extinct genus of frog known from the Early Paleocene of India. [1] [2] It contains a single species, Indobatrachus pusillus.Two other species, I. trivialis and I. malabaricus, were also previously described, but these have since been synonymized with I. pusillus.

The Amphibians of Western Australia are represented by two families of frogs. Of the 78 species found, most within the southwest , 38 are unique to the state. 15 of the 30 genera of Australian frogs occur; from arid regions and coastlines to permanent wetlands.
The frog was abundant in the south eastern Queensland in the early 1970s but then rapidly began to decline. [2] In a period of about 3 to 4 years, the frog was considered to be endangered, having disappeared from D’Aguilar Range around 1975 and Blackall Range around 1978. The species has not been spotted since approximately 1979. [1]
Triadobatrachus is an extinct genus of salientian frog-like amphibians, including only one known species, Triadobatrachus massinoti. It is the oldest member of the frog lineage known, and an excellent example of a transitional fossil. It lived during the Early Triassic about 250 million years ago, in what is now Madagascar.
