The water-holding frog (Cyclorana platycephala), is a species of frog that is common in most Australian states and territories. It is also commonly referred to as the eastern water-holding frog and the common water holding frog. This species belongs to the Pelodryadidae family but differs from most other members as it is terrestrial and fossorial and undertakes aestivation.
