Underrated animals: Turtle frog
Update: 2025-08-05
Description
This tiny frog is pasty white, with big arms, a teeny head, and is — somehow — still absolutely adorable.
The turtle frog (Myobatrachus gouldii) can be found in a small part of south-west Western Australia.
They mostly live underground, and are one of only a few species of frog that burrow forwards instead of backwards.
