Black Toad
The toad's black skin is covered in white and tan speckles and it sports a white midline down its spine from head to rump. Adults are approximately 5 cm (2 inches) in length. They are active during the warmer months and overwinter underground near their native springs. This species walks rather than hops, and never strays far from water.
