Likes long walks on the beach


Undaunted by my presence, This staunch Anaxyrus woodhousii, or Woodhouse's toad, had his priorities straight. I was lured from my house by his love song. This toad was perched on a romantic cinder block bordering the man made pond in my front yard. He agreed to pose for a few pictures, before wandering off, in search of ladies. (Apparantly, I was not the female he was looking for.) This guy likes to burrow and hide when he is not active. Hopefully his night went well, and I will be able to watch tadpoles grow in my pond!
