'Bush Tucker'

Open for interpretation – Challenge yourself to thought processes behind this one – the frogs were a nice sugar hit after a 10 km hike around Uluru!

Much like the Honey ant these frogs are indicative to a warm semi arid desert. Prized for thier sweet flesh and high antioxidant values. They are not easy to find but due to a prolonged spate of hot weather in the central region of australia they were seen in limited numbers migrating to a more accomodating region assisted by whats known as a ‘homosapien’. They generally roam in ‘packs’ and easily spotted by thier bright colouring. They are vulnerable due to this however and tend to be easy pickings for most two legged species. They have been known to be attacked by armies of ants and flies which tend to regard them as a delicacy providing much needed nectar for long term survival.
They are known as ‘froggis nectaris colouris’ and have only recently been discovered in the last ten years. :P

    Ha Ha what a great concept and sense of humour, I would’nt mind being stranded in the outback if the tucker is that tasty.I’d have watch out for the “frog gobbling red bubblers” though,I’ve heard they’re a fast and stealthy species!!!
