What is a "striped marsh frog"?

A striped marsh frog is a medium-sized frog species found in Australia. It is characterized by its distinct dark brown or olive-green coloration with light brown or cream stripes running along its body. These frogs are commonly found in wetlands, marshes, and other freshwater habitats, where they feed on insects and small invertebrates. They have a loud, distinctive call that resembles a harsh "crack." The striped marsh frog plays an important role in its ecosystem as both a predator and prey, and it serves as an indicator species for the health of wetland environments.
