Tim the Yowie Man | Meet the southern corroboree frog, somewhat critter dealing with large challenges | The Canberra Instances

A story of two species: Just like the southern corroboree frog (Pseudophryne corroboree), on account of chytridiomycosis, a toxic pores and skin illness brought on by the chytrid fungus, in addition to pest animal impacts and local weather change, the northern corroboree frog (Pseudophryne pengilleyi) can be listed as critically endangered. The northern corroboree frog has been recorded a lot nearer to Canberra – within the Brindabella Ranges from Mt Bimberi to north of Mt Coree, and the Fiery Vary from the Snowy Mountains Freeway to Wee Jasper. There have even been stories of the frogs within the pine plantations close to Tumut. In line with Dr Hunter, “aside from genetic and vary variations, the northern remains to be brightly and boldly marked however to not the identical extent as southern”.
