Frogs at Pelaw Main

Frogs at Pelaw Main A page about my journey keeping my own captive frogs, rescuing and rehabilitating native wild frogs, and about the wild frogs found in my area.

With lots of cute frog photos and videos along the way! Also on Instagram Frogs Main I am a licensed NSW Frog keeper and my wife is a Veterinarian. We are located in Pelaw Main, NSW, Australia. We are in the process of setting up several enclosures to legally house several species of captive bred native frogs. We also are making our property into a frog sanctuary to be home to as many wild

native frogs as possible. We have the facilities and knowledge to rescue and rehabilitate native frogs that need to be cared for and released, or relocated. This is a page for us to document and share our journey with frogs! Please contact us if you are local and have frogs or tadpoles in need of help; injured, or that need to be rescued, relocated, or rehomed. We will do our best to offer help and advice. We are affiliated with, and frog rescue and rehabilitation is done on behalf of, Hunter Wildlife Rescue. Please note that we are are private residence and not open to the public for visits at this time.

Nearly two decades ago, scientists in Newcastle came surprisingly close to resurrecting the extinct gastric brooding frog. Their failure highlights issues still plaguing de-extinction research today.

🐸 FrogID meets machine learning

With nearly 8 years of frog call recordings, has built a powerful acoustic dataset.

Thanks to international donor support, our team tested Earth Species Project’s open-source NatureLM-audio model, to see if it could help us identify frog calls faster.
Even without fine-tuning, the model showed it can tell frog calls apart from other sounds - a promising step toward using AI to support frog research and conservation.

We look forward to sharing more of our team’s work in the AI/ML space over the next year – stay tuned.

Have you seen any sick or dead frogs?

This winter, the Australian Museum team is receiving reports from across Australia of frogs that appear sick or have died. These frogs may be lethargic, sitting out in the open during the day, and showing dark or patchy skin.
In winter 2021, Australia experienced a mass frog die-off. We’re concerned it could happen again, and we need your help.

If you spot a sick or dead frog, please email your observation (including photos and location details, if possible) to [email protected].

FrogID is filling data gaps!

We’ve now recorded frogs in 40% of Australia’s grid cells – and in 7% of the entire country, is the only source of frog data.

A huge thank you to these incredible contributors who’ve submitted frog calls from areas we previously had no records – helping us fill in new grid cells and expand the coverage of our national frog dataset.

– Eridani Mulder, 11 grid cells
– Joanne Ocock, 12 grid cells
– Keith McDonald, 12 grid cells

Your efforts are making a real impact!
