Crawfish Toad
The Crawfish Toad, also known as the Crawfish Frog, is a species of frog found primarily in the southeastern United States. It is characterized by its large size, with adults typically reaching up to 5 inches in length. The frog has a distinctive mottled brown and green coloration, which helps it blend into its natural habitat of wetlands and grasslands.
Crawfish Toads are known for their unique breeding behavior, often using abandoned crawfish burrows as nesting sites. They are primarily nocturnal and feed on insects and other small invertebrates. Their populations are closely tied to the availability of suitable wetland habitats, making them sensitive to environmental changes.
