Critically Endangered  Frog                  Known
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   At Kroombit Tops, feral pigs have only recently arrived but they have caused significant damage to at least two sites known to support the Kroombit Tinker Frog. Although there may be direct predation by feral pigs, the greatest effect is likely to be the impact of habitat degradation.
