Meet the Frog Part 7: Morogoro Tree Toad

[John]

In the latest installment of Kurt's "Meet the Frog" series, meet the Morogoro Tree Toad, an interesting and threatened Bufonidae toad which is closely related to the now extinct (in the wild at least) Kihansi Spray Toad, which also gets a mention in the article. Read more.

Those are very fine toads indeed. I have always liked them. It is to bad they are never imported.

Kurt,
I absolutely love these articles and you do a fantastic job. Keep up the good work!

Two thumbs up for this informative series. Great work, Kurt!

[Kurt]

Thank you all. They can be fun to research and write. There are more in the pipeline, including one from a different author. The next one is a frog near and dear to my heart, with pictures by John Clare.

LOL I wrote more of this one than Kurt did :P.

[Kurt]

You wrote about the Kihansi spray toad, Nectophrynoides asperginis. The article was supposed to be about the Morogoro tree toad, Nectophrynoides viviparus. So what we have here is two articles under the same roof.

The Morogoro part was tiny and the two are in the same genus and overlap in range, so I thought it would make a nice embellishment.
