It also normally has a light vertebral line. This toads have a dark facial mask, helping them in there camouflage even more. This frogs reproduce at the end of the dry season on the remaining water poodles.
    I love this toad!!

    Thanks for posting this. I have been a fan of Incilius luetkenii & coniferus for quite some time now, but they are just not available here. Also like Incilius periglenes and Atelopus varius, but one is extint and the other critically endangered.

    Is sad how amphibian species are dissappearing.
