Herpetofauna - One Life's List

Southwestern Woodhouse's Toad
Bufo woodhousii australis

Cochise Co., Arizona. August 3, 2000
 
Another 'road toad' encountered in the flat grasslands just west of the Chiricahuas, as pocket thunderstorms boiled up around us in the dark.  The elongated paratoid glands behind the eye, coupled with the pale dorsal stripe, are good identifying field marks for woodhousei.
