Quacking Frog calling from a sheltered position. It most commonly breeds around granite outcrops in the pools of water that collect in the surrounding vegetation. It prefers shallower, more murky breeding pools than the big, permanent ones found on top of the outcrops themselves. It is also prone to breeding in puddles and wheel ruts. This results in multiple paternity of egg clutches and may increase the chances of fertilisation success.
