The Family Myobatrachidae is a group of frogs native primarily to Australia and New Guinea, commonly referred to as Australian ground frogs. Members of this family display a wide range of adaptations, including burrowing behaviors, direct development (bypassing the tadpole stage in some species), and diverse reproductive strategies such as foam nests or eggs laid on land. They vary in size and habitat preference, occupying forests, grasslands, and arid regions. Ecologically, Myobatrachidae play important roles as insect predators, helping control invertebrate populations, and as prey for larger animals, contributing to the balance of their native ecosystems.
