The Western American Toad is a medium-sized amphibian found primarily in the western regions of North America. It typically has a warty, brownish or olive-green skin that helps it blend into its surroundings. These toads are often found near water sources, such as ponds and streams, where they breed and lay eggs. This species is known for its distinctive call, which sounds like a series of short, musical notes. The Western American Toad plays an important role in its ecosystem by controlling insect populations. Conservation efforts are in place to protect its habitats from threats like pollution and habitat destruction.
