Anaxyrus Debilis
The North American green toad (''Anaxyrus debilis''), formerly in the genus ''Bufo'', is a species of toad found in the southwestern United States in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, as well as in northern Mexico in the states of Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Durango, and Zacatecas. It is commonly called green toad (with many variants). Description Green toads are typically bright to pale green in color, with black spotting. They are not large toads; adult males are about in snout–vent length and females . Habitat and reproduction Green toads are relatively widespread and at least locally common. They are secretive, however, only readily found during and immediately after periods of rainfall; their habitat is semi-arid and often very dry. Breeding occurs from late March to August, stimulated by summer rains. Males move from drier, terrestrial habitat to aquatic breeding sites where they form choruses. Females are attracted by chorusi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anaxyrus Retiformis
The Sonoran green toad (''Anaxyrus retiformis''; in Spanish "sapo verde de Sonora" or "sapo verde sonorense") is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is found in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States. Distribution and habitat The Sonoran green toad is endemic to the counties of Pima and Pinal in Arizona in the south western United States and to northern Mexico. In the United States its range extends from near Mobile southwards to the San Cristobal Wash and the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and eastwards to the Mission San Xavier del Bac and the Altar Valley. In Mexico its range is from the west-central part of Sonora State northwards. Its altitudinal range is from . Its typical habitat is arid and semi-arid plains with grass, creosote bush, mesquite and saguaro. Behavior The Sonoran green toad is nocturnal and little is known of its behavior outside the breeding season. It is thought that it may be fossorial, living underground for most o ...

Bufotes
''Bufotes'', the Eurasian green toads or Palearctic green toads, is a genus of true toads (family Bufonidae). They are native to Europe (absent from the British Isles, most of Fennoscandia, most of France and the Iberian Peninsula), western and central Asia and northern Africa; a region roughly equalling the western and central Palearctic. Historically they were included in the genus ''Bufo'' and then for a few years placed in ''Pseudepidalea'', which is a synonym of the currently accepted name ''Bufotes''. ''Bufotes'' are typical toads and as suggested by their common names most—but not all— species and individuals have a distinct greenish-spotted pattern. They occur in a wide range of habitats and mostly lay their eggs in fresh water, but sometimes in waters that are brackish. Appearance Size and morphology ''Bufotes'' are fairly small to medium-large toads with adults that are between about in snout–to–vent length. The average size varies significantly depending on ...

Incilius Coniferus
The evergreen toad (''Incilius coniferus'') is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. Conservation status It is potentially threatened by habitat loss, but is still categorized as a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. A species cannot be assigned to the least-concern category unless it has had its population status evaluated. Description The evergreen toad (also known as the "green climbing toad") can be colored with browns, greens, and even yellows. These colors on its back and other areas of the body are arranged in a camouflage pattern that can be unique between each member of the species. Its eyes are green with vertically slit pupils. Adult males of the species can measure approximately 53–72 mm and adult females 76–94 mm. Females and males in adulthood or easy to tell apart due to males usually having just abit brighter coloring. However, when they haven't metamorphosed yet, males and females are practically i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Incilius Melanochlorus
''Incilius melanochlorus'', formerly ''Bufo melanochlorus'', is a mid-sized species of toad with a crested head in the family Bufonidae. It is primarily distinguished by its very long first finger with respect to the other fingers. It is found in southern Nicaragua, in the northern Cordillera Central (central highlands) and on the Atlantic slopes of eastern Costa Rica, and in western Panama. Vernacular names Frank and Ramus (1995) give it the common name dark green toad, Panamanian herpetologists Jaramillo and Ibáñez (2009) use wet forest toad or west forest toad according to Darrel R. Frost (likely a misspelling). A local Spanish name from Costa Rica specifically for this species is '' sapo Costaricense de la selva'', but it also just known as ''sapo''. Taxonomy The first article about this species was published in 1875 by Edward Drinker Cope who wrote of the toad as a particular but unnamed variety of ''Bufo valliceps'' from eastern Costa Rica. It was described as a nov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
