The Pouched Frog is found in eastern Australia near Brisbane. Pouched Frogs lay around 10 eggs at a time. Once the eggs start to hatch, the male frogs come close to the tadpoles and let them slide into their pouches on their side. The tadpoles stay their for two months and then emerge as little frogs.
