The Mottled Barred Frog (Mixophyes coggeri) is a large frog species endemic to the wet tropics of Far North Queensland. They are a ground-dwelling frog of tropical rainforests and are superbly camouflaged when sitting in the leaf-litter. The tadpoles of this species are huge – up to 12.5cm in length!

This species makes a few different calls, most commonly a very deep, single ‘wonk’ note, although often giving as a faster series of multiple notes. They also make a hoarser, wheezy ‘waark’ note. This species is particularly vocal in the rainy season.
