Thread: American Toad or Fowler's Toad

    Default American Toad or Fowler's Toad

    Hello,

    I'm new to this forum. I find this toad last week in Pittsburgh, PA.

    https://flic.kr/p/Lz5NLT

    Do you think it's possible to identify whether it's an American Toad or Fowler's Toad?

    Thank you very much!

    Cui

    The bumps on his tibia don't seem to be enlarged, however the coloration/patter suggests an American toad. The only surefire way is to see if his crests touch his paratoid glands, but he appears to be too young and hasn't developed crests yet.

    I'm gonna say that you've most likely got an American toad there, but it will be difficult to tell for another year or so.
