A specimen from the "
hybrid zone" of the Leaf Green Tree Frog (Litoria phyllochroa) and the
Southern Leaf Green Tree Frog (L. nudidigitus), showing physical characteristics of both species. These small stream-dwelling frogs (averaging only 40mm in length), are native to eastern
Australia and occur together south of
Sydney. The two species are differentiated only by distribution, call and slight differences in
flank markings.Photo credit:
