Woodhouse's Toad

in #nature8 years ago (edited)

I found my first herp on the job today! It's been a long time coming, but it was an adorable Anaxyrus woodhousii, or Woodhouse's Toad.

I found it hopping along the beach of the Missouri River just north of North Dakota's capital, Bismarck.

Hopefully I'll find many more in the months to come!!

Too cute this little frog! Thank you and good day :)

It is too cute! You're welcome.

Wow -- that's a tiny toad! And it sure blends in. You did well in spotting it. I hope you find a lot of them!

It was small. I found a larger one of the same species later.
