Woodhouse's Toad
Anaxyrus woodhousii
A sturdy terrestrial toad of prairies, open woodlands, river bottoms, farms, and suburban yards, often sheltering by day in loose soil or under debris. It emerges mostly at night to eat insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates captured with a sticky tongue. Prominent parotoid glands behind the eyes release irritating bufotoxins, and breeding males give a loud nasal call from shallow water.
