	Maud Island Frog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Maud Island frog (Leiopelma pakeka) is a New Zealand primitive frog, one of only four belonging to the ancient family Leiopelmatidae and found only on two islands in the Marlborough Sounds area at the north of the South Island of New Zealand - Maud Island and Motuara Island.
		Maud Island frogs live in burrows under boulders and are very dependent on a damp environment, and quickly dry out and die if placed in a dry place.
		Apart from their rarity Maud Island frogs are hard to locate as they are well camouflaged, live underground, are nocturnal, and do not croak.

	Maud Island / Te Hoiere Scientific Reserve (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Maud Island/Te Hoiere is a relatively sheltered island in outer Pelorus Sound in the Marlborough Sounds.
		The island is not open to the public except by specially-permitted commercial trips in summer or by arrangement with the Department of Conservation.

		Unfortunately, the island only ever hosted one successful breeding attempt - when Flossie raised three chicks to Richard Henry in 1998 - and so the decision was made to remove kakapo from the island in favour of keeping them on larger, forested islands in southern New Zealand.
		Stewart Island is New Zealand's third-largest island, and lies in the wild westerly belt south of the South Island.
		Pearl Island lies at the entrance of Port Pegasus, in southern Stewart Island, and was an important centre for kakapo recovery in 1998-99.

	Welcome to Forest and Bird
		The island was virtually denuded of forest, though a heavily grazed 18 hectare fragment of the original coastal forest was fortuitously left to protect the water catchment.
		Maud first came to prominence in 1974 when the owner, Jack Shand, agreed to let the island be used to house the last of the Fiordland kakapo.
		A stoat was detected on the island - the 900-metre gap between the island and the mainland wasn’t sufficient to prevent a determined stoat reaching Maud.

		The Maud Island frog in the Marlborough Sounds was previously thought to be the same species as the Hamilton's frog living on nearby Stephen's Island.
		The Maud Island frog is nationally endangered, with approximately 4,000 frogs on Maud Island.
		Maud Island frog population locations are Maud Island and Motuara Island in the Marlborough Sounds.

	Welcome to Forest and Bird
		As soon as the Maud Island frog (currently one of two populations of Hamilton’s frog) is formally described as a new species, Hamilton’s frog on Stephens Island will be left with a population of only 200-300 individuals restricted to an area the size of a small suburban section.
		The Maud Island frog is much more common than its relatives on Stephens Island, and is estimated to have a population of around 19,000.
		On Maud Island, the frogs, although numerically strong, are susceptible to mammalian invasion from the adjacent mainland – stoats in particular regularly arrive and have to be removed – and also fire.

		These included the Maud island frog, slugs, weevils, geckos, carnivorous snail shells, and a humongous weta, a relative of the cricket.

		Lucy Maud Montgomery is one of my all-time favorite authors (along with C. Lewis and Madeleine L'Engle), and I have read all 20+ of her novels and short story volumes, several biographies, and her published journals.
		An interesting island custom (geared toward tourists more than it used to be) is the "lobster supper." Imagine a steakhouse here in the United States, where you receive a steak, soup, salad, bread, and dessert as one big package.
		There are several places on the island where horseback riding is offered, and we did go on a one hour sunset trail ride, which was quite nice.
