The humble toad :)

That's so awesome.

I really love toads, and where I live, there's tons! When I was little, I had a toad I had caught that was bright yellow! I had him almost three years, and he would always chirp at me. So guess what his name was?

Yeller. :P

Here, we have a HUGE toad that hops up the steps to bathe in a bowl of water and hunt bugs. Next time I see him I'll try to get a picture.

I thought it was terrific that some biology professor at Cortland University took the time to id a toad for me and a fairly ordinary one at that. Good call, Edie! You win the toad identification prize today. :D

Nice! I'm usually just good at identifying arachnids, I'll have to start trying toads out more often! That is really neat that he took the time to let you know what it was!
