    Default New species of frog in NZ, or just albinos?

    K, so recently I've got a bit caught up on albino Litoria aurea (they look awesome . I was always under the impression they were albino but until I saw a couple of pics and read some forums, the overall body shape and legs look completely different.

    Here's a discussion from Frogs.org.au with a bit of info and tadpole pics:

    frogs.org.au Community :: View topic - White tadpole in Sydney

    These are the same type of frogs/tadpoles we find on a NZ trading site, trademe.co.nz

    Now here's FNZAS, with a thread on albino litoria aurea:

    frogs.org.au Community :: View topic - White tadpole in Sydney

    Even though the eyes are red, the legs look fatter and shorter and the body looks more true-frog like.

    Just quite interested in this, like to see peoples replies

    Thanks,
    Zac
