American Toad
Hello, our names are “Pete” and “Repeat”
The parotid glands on the back of toads’ necks secrete bufotoxin; a foul tasting poison.
Toads are largely nocturnal predators, hunting insects, spiders, earthworms, snails, and slugs.
American toads can live up to 30 years.
Toads burrow underground to hibernate in the winter.
