The doctor frog (Medicusranae australis) is a species of frog, most closely related to the Australian green tree frog, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the wetlands, open woodlands, and grasslands across New Guinea and Australia to help boost biodiversity. Doctor frogs measure at 4 inches with tadpoles that measure at 1 inch at full development. The characteristic dumpy appearance of their relatives is retained due to water stores being needed for hibernating during the darker months where they bury themselves underground in mucus cocoons to retain heat. Tadpoles have a diet consisting of mostly of dead skin and parasites off of larger animals as well as anything else they can find. As adults, the doctor frogs eat insects and other small invertebrates. The adults produce a disease resistant secretion, very much like their close relatives, but this secretion is way stronger and is taken advantage of by both the frog and other animals. Doctor frogs are solitary but will tolerate another frog that comes near it. Whenever it interacts with another frog it communicates through a number of different low pitched croaks. When in danger it will let out a loud high pitched croak to try and scare off predators. Predators aren't something that the doctor frog has to worry about, though. The doctor frog has a symbiotic relationships with larger animals around its area. The frog will climb on the animal and blend in due to its brownish-black coloration. The larger animal will use the frog's secretions to protect wounds from infection, the large animal will also use the frog to eat pests and parasites that bother it. In return the frog will get free food and protection. In rare occasions the larger animal will eat the frog in the case of starvation or dehydration. The doctor frog's mating season is in the spring and the female lays a few hundred eggs in small ponds and swamps. The doctor frog is a popular exotic pet and has been use in both medical research and microsurgery, being used to treat wounds in humans and other salient species. The conservation status of the doctor frog is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the doctor frog's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
