Maud Island Frogs are native to new Zealand, they are very different to other frogs.

This little frog lives in Maud Island at Marlborough Sounds it lives in damp places like under logs and rocks on steep hills way above the water.

Maud Island Frogs eat small larvae, worms, beetles, and insects. They do not have very long tongues so they jump on their prey to eat it.

Frogs look small and green with four legs they are only about 47 millimetres high off the ground.

Maud Island breath out of there skin and their nose but mostly out of their skin. If their skin is not wet they will die.

The main problem for the Maud Island Frogs are the rats they have a disease and the Frogs caught it. That is way all of the Frogs are almost all gone and they took some to a different Island to try and save them. I hope they can.
