id: Asian Common Toad
Male showing breeding color(yellow)
Male holds female by her back and will make female to lay eggs in pond or some Water-body(process is known as spawning) and then male will fertilize it with his sperms and this is known as External fertilization.
This place I visited with new friends from Kerala was full of these species.
All yellow males were brilliantly bright.
It was raining heavily so I shot this pair on my phone.
"Duttaphrynus melanostictus" is commonly called Asian common toad, Asian black-spined toad, Asian toad, black-spectacled toad, common Sunda toad, and Javanese toad. It is probably a complex of more than one true toad species that is widely distributed in South and Southeast Asia.
