Fun with Toad Identification (Picture Heavy!)

[SludgeMunkey]

Here is a series of pictures of a group of some toads I found over the last few months.

I will offer one hint: They were all found at the same location, but not at my usual "toad spot".

Toad #1





Toad #2




Toad #3




Toad #4




Bonus Picture of Toad #2 showing the amazing yellow spots on the hind quarters. The "armpits' of this specimen are also yellow!

Looks almost exactly like my Woodhouse's toadlets

They're all Bufo woodhousii.

Yay though i had never heard of the yellow thing, is that a real way to identify them?

They're all Bufo woodhousii.

They are in fact all B. woodhousii.

This is the only one I have ever seen with the yellow. I wish I had better pictures of the yellow. The one I have posted just does not do it justice. There is quite a bit of variation in this species, as you can see.

Toad #3 is probably one of the most attractively patterned ones I have found yet.

All the Bufo woodhousii australis I've seen have had yellow on their thighs.

the third resembles mine,
