Eastern Narrowmouth Toad

Description:

I found this little (27 mm body length) toad out on a wet road at night. They breed during summer rains, and are fairly common in my area, but a bit difficult to find. It was captured and posed for these photos. They are so funny--they do not jump, but attempt to burrow wherever they are placed. The specimen was returned to its original site the next evening.A good link: Frogs and Toads of Georgia/South CarolinaGastrophryne_carolinensis PCCA20060609-4439A
