White’s Tree Frog

White’s Tree Frog, also called the Dumpy Tree Frog, is one of the most charming amphibians around—and it’s got the smile to prove it! These plump little frogs are usually a soft green or blue-green color, sometimes with bits of white or cream on their bellies and sides. They’re known for their large, golden eyes and chubby bodies, which give them an adorable, almost cartoonish look. Adults typically grow to about 3 to 4.5 inches long, and they have sticky toe pads that help them climb and cling to surfaces with ease.

These lovable frogs are native to Australia and parts of New Guinea, where they hang out in warm, humid environments like rainforests, woodlands, and even human gardens. As their name suggests, White’s Tree Frogs spend a lot of time in trees and shrubs, though they’ll also explore lower areas near water. They prefer spots with plenty of moisture and love hiding in crevices or under leaves during the day, becoming more active when the sun goes down. They’re surprisingly adaptable and are often found in urban areas where conditions are just right.

White’s Tree Frogs are insectivores, snacking on crickets, moths, roaches, and just about any bug that fits in their wide mouths. They’re ambush predators, meaning they’ll wait quietly and then lunge at their prey with their long, sticky tongues. These frogs are also known for their laid-back personalities and goofy antics—sometimes even falling asleep in the funniest positions! In the wild, they help keep insect populations in check, and in captivity, they’re a favorite for families and frog fans due to their calm, easygoing nature and frequent, silly expressions.
