This frog lives on the ground in tropical forests and in streams, swamps and ponds. It lives in the southern part of the island of New Guinea, in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. It lives all across the northern and eastern coasts of Australia and people have seen it as far south as Sydney. It is known for being able to jump very far. It has longer cartilage in its toes than most frogs have, which may be why it jumps so well. This frog can jump 4 metres (>12 feet).
