Southern bell frog

The southern bell frog (Litoria raniformis).

The southern bell frog (Litoria raniformis) was introduced from Australia in the 1860s. It is the largest frog in New Zealand, and while widespread here, it is listed as endangered in Australia. Its call sounds like ‘crawcrocrocrocrok’ – a recording can be heard on the Department of Conservation Identifying introduced frog species page.
