the "corroboree frogs" ( ) are two species of small, poisonous ground dwelling frogs, native to southern tablelands of australia. the two species are the southern corroboree frog ("pseudophryne corroboree") and the northern corroboree frog ("pseudophryne pengilleyi"). they are unique among frogs in that they produce their own poison rather than obtain it from their food source as is the case in every other poisonous frog species.
