Water-holding frogs are reptiles found in Australia.
The water-holding frog has adapted to life in a dry desert. The frog stores water in its bladder and under its skin. It spends most of its life under the ground. It makes a cocoon from skin it has shed to keep the water in.
A slight squeeze of the frog releases fresh water. This is a traditional Aboriginal way to get drinking water.
The water-holding frog has a broad, flat head and a stout body.
