Anura posing Moving very slowly I managed to lay on the ground and get close enough (didnt have more than 50mm in my lens) to this lovely &quot;toad&quot;. Once I was done, he/she decided it was enough and went away.<br />
An anecdote on this photo: It was the second time I was meeting my fiance&#039;s family, we had just finished having dinner when I saw this toad near the table and I didnt have better idea than go and lay on the ground with the camera and external flash... When I looked back everyone was watching me :P <br />
BTW about the classification of the specie, looks like &quot;Rhinella&quot; species were once included in the &quot;Bufo&quot;s but now they are considered a subgenus by many herpetologists.
