    Oh really? Muwahahahahaha! I can give you a run for your money. Just to let you know the species name is never capitalized and neither is the subspecies if applicable, only the genus is.

    How is this possible? Litoria ewingi is an Australasian species and a member of the family Hylidae. It is a native of Australia and it has been introduced to New Zealand. As far as I know, there are no other introduced populations in the world, believe me I just looked it up.
    Eleutherodactylus johnstonei is a Neo-tropical frog and a member of the family Eleutherodactylidae, not even related.

    That being said, welcome aboard.

    I'm always ready for a challenge .
    I prefer to memorize everything, but I understand that .

    Oh I know, but there have been reports of Litoria Ewingii here, though not as prominent as Australia or New Zealand, but if you look hard enough you may be lucky to find one. It's not against the law to bring them here, so I assume people have over the years, or they just stowed away. I only said there may be 10% of her being that, because I have a tiny doubt of her actual species, although I'm pretty sure it's E.Johnstonei, but she lacks the orange-gold quality to her eyes which are supposed to be common to E.Johnstonei.

    I know they aren't related, but are similar in appearance, which is what I was refering to .

    That being said; Thanks for the welcome .
