are appropriate. This species is diurnal, and individuals of all life stages can be found during the day, often in exposed positions within seepages. Males will start calling at sunrise and continue into the evening. Egg clutches have been found in very shallow pools under a thin layer of mud. Larvae are benthic, and will hide within the mud when disturbed. Breeding does not seem to be greatly affected by fire, as calls have been heard after the first good rains following a fire. Additionally, this species can tolerate some level of anthropogenic disturbance. Individuals have been found in eroded areas or drainage ditches on the side of jeep tracks which cut through their seepage areas. Breeding related aggression between males has been recorded, similar to combat observed in African Bullfrogs.
