Bufo fowleri


I found this guy in my garage a few days ago. He or she is a Fowler's Toad, which is very similar to the American Toad. The American Toad only has 1-2 warts per dark spot where the Fowler's Toad has 3-4 warts per spot. Fowler's Toads also have paratoid glands that touch their cranial crests while the American Toad's cranial crests are separated from their paratoid gland. After taking a quick picture I took this guy back to the pond so he could be with his friends and away from my cat.
