This was one of many Toads I encountered today. He's actually crawling up out of a deep boot print in the mud. It looked like hard work for him! I was drawn by his amazing eyes.

Feeling grumpy in the morning? Cane Toad (Rhinella marina). A South American species, great at controlling beetles that threatened sugar and fruit plantations. Introduced to Australia in 1935 and now hopping across the continent eating anything that they can fit in their mouths. To many Aussie animals a plump toad is a tempting meal, but toxins exuded from special glands on the toad's head often leads to a quick death.

I spotted this Toad about to cross the road by a car park at Shingle street in Suffolk today, so I stood by and stopped all the cars until it had crossed safely! A sure sign of Spring!
Common toad in its hole. For all those coming to study day in May - these will be one of our targets.
No great crested newts yet but it may be a bit early yet on this site.
A small toad only about 2 inches (5 cm) long. Probably a youngster, since I've seen toads easily twice this size. Probably a Gulf coast toad, Incilius valliceps.
Found in my backyard. Vote for this photo in the following contest: www.capturearkansas.com/challenges/macro-book/for/lucemse...

The Arroyo Toad (Anaxyrus californicus) is a federally endangered species. This subadult was photographed in San Bernardino County, California, on a rainy night in October, 2015.
There are two species of spadefooted toad in SE Utah and they can be difficult to tell apart if you don't know what to look for. Here the New Mexico spadefoot (Spea Multiplicata) is on the left and the Plains spadefoot (Spea bombifrons) is on the right. You wlil notice a more pug-like nose on the Plains spadefooted toad and a pronounced bump between the eyes. Neither of those characteristics exist in the new Mexico spadefoot. Things can get tricky if these two toads hybridize however and this particular New Mexico spadefoot looks like it has some plains spadefoot influence to me.
Mr. Toad is snuggled into the mulch and dirt so well that if it wasn't for his yellow eye, you wouldn't see him at all. This toad is providing a lot of entertainment, since he's right outside our picture window next to the driveway. All I have to do is look out the window to see what he's up to. Except when he's buried himself in the mulch.
