The Common Toad (Bufo bufo) is a widespread amphibian found across Europe and parts of Asia. Recognizable by its warty skin and stout body, it typically inhabits woodlands, gardens, and grasslands. These toads are primarily nocturnal and are known for their distinctive mating calls during the breeding season. Common Toads are important for controlling insect populations and serve as indicators of environmental health. They have a varied diet, feeding on insects, worms, and other small invertebrates. Despite their commonality, they face threats from habitat loss and pollution, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
