Still Time to Jump Onboard and Become a Wyvern Frog Finder 

There is still time to download the Australian Museum’s FrogID App and become involved in and contribute to, one of the largest  national citizens’ science projects that is helping scientists learn more about what is happening to Australia’s frogs. 

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. But others have declined dramatically since the 1980s, and four have become extinct. Can you help by locating frogs in your vicinity?

So far, Wyvern boys have located the following species of frogs in their neighbourhoods. 

Striped Marsh Frog (found near Woolwich Dock by Hugh Edmundson and in a Lilyfield backyard pond by Mrs Barnes)

Eastern Dwarf Sedge Frog (found by Bradman Fox in Sydney Park, St Peters)   

Common Eastern Froglet (found by Angus Edmundson in Woolwich backyard)
