NSW.

 A very colourful guy is this tiny little Corroboree Frog but also very poisonous..Located in the snowy Mountains of New South Wales this particular frog is on the most endangered list.There are two species The Southern Corroboree frog and the Northern Corroboree frog..both are located in both native to the southern highlands of N.S.W.. This frog is unique in that it makes its own poison rather than obtain it from their food source as do other species of frogs..Love the colours...but don't touch !!
