Oh I completely understand, they are changing everything in the herp world right now and it is so hard to keep up!
Jeff Dreier
Thanks for the info AshleyT. I was looking at an outdated reference and forgot about the Genus change. I should have known that!
AshleyT
Bufo is no longer the Genus for toads in North America, and the Fowler's Toad got raised to its own species years ago, it is no longer a subspecies of the Woodhouses Toad.
Jeff Dreier
It is either American (Bufo americanus) or Fowler's toad (Bufo woodhousii fowleri).
