Limnodynastes interioris is a large Australian frog. It lives in arid areas and makes loud sounds similar to playing the banjo.
The giant banjo frog is distinguished by its large size and characteristic loud croak. It helps maintain balance in nature by eating a large number of insects.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
