Main's water-holding frog, Main's frog, the sheep frog or western collared frog (Ranoidea maini) is a frog from Australia. It lives in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia.[2][3]
This frog can live on flood plains, claypans, grassland and wetlands that dry up. It lays eggs whenever there is enough water, and the tadpoles grow into frogs quickly.[3]
This frog is 5.0 cm long with a round body. The skin on its back is gray or brown with darker marks. Some frogs can change the color of their skin, making it much lighter in color in a few hours. Their front feet are not webbed, and their hind feet are webbed about halfway.[4]
This frog is named after frog scientist Albert Main.[4]
