Eastern American Toad
Bufo americanus americanus
43.0904, -79.0861
Field Notes
Description:
Medium-sized toad usually ranging in size from 5–9 cm (2.0–3.5 in). The colour and pattern is somewhat variable. Skin colour can change depending on humidity, stress, and temperature. Colour changes range from yellow to brown to black. This individual is very dark colored.
Habitat:
American Toads require a semi-permanent freshwater pond or pool with shallow water in which to breed and for their early development.
Notes:
This toad lives in my shed. There are some spots on the floor without tiles and it makes a little burrow to sit it. I've been seeing it for weeks now most times I go into my shed during the day.
