Notes:

This poor guy was making his way to safety because of terrible flooding we're having here today. He finally found a nice branch to hang onto.

Thanks Forest Dragon! What type of toad do you think he is?

Hi Pam, neat shot! I think this actually looks more like a species of Toad. Bullfrogs don't have that large gland behind the eye.
