This is the Fowler's toad. My best friend and I found this fat guy sitting right outside his barn. We had just finished celebrating my best friends 22 birthday when I thought it would be fun to go look for some herps. Within two minutes we spotted this guy! The Anaxyrus fowleri has very distinct parotid glands similar to the Anaxyrus americanus but instead the fowleri's parotid glands come in contact with the cranial crest. The fowleri also has 3 or more warts inside dark spots on back. The habitat for these guys is very broad. We found this one right outside my friends barn.
