The long-snouted frog,[4] scrub rocket frog[4] or sharp-snouted frog (Litoria longirostris) is a small frog from Australia. It lives on the Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland.[5][1]
This frog lives near streams and in forests high above sea level.[5] This frog does not lay its eggs directly in the water. People have found its eggs on rocks, leaves, dead plants, and tree trunks near water but not in it.[5][2]
