The shoemaker frog (Neobatrachus sutor) is a species of frog in the family Limnodynastidae. It is found in Western Australia. Its natural habitats are temperate scrub, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland, intermittent freshwater marshes, hot deserts, and temperate desert. The frog is named after the noise they make which sounds like a hammer in use. The frog is yellow to golden in colour. It usually has some brown blotches and is at maximum 5 cm. When they breed, the female frog lays 200 – 1000 eggs.[2][3][4]
