  1. This one's easy: Cane Toad (Rhinella marina). The gigantic parotid glands are a giveaway. Posted 8 years ago

    2. hi John. I've got a new batch where I'm hoping you can have a look at. Has a few difficult ones, so no worries if it's too hard to tell:

      Small frog on big leaf, Santa María, Colombia My theory for now is Centrolene sp. Hard to see on this photo, but this one has bright infrequent yellow spots on its back. Unfortunately, that's hardly a unique feature. Boyacá,Colombia,Santa María,South America,World

      Cane Toad at night, Santa María, Colombia Very large one, found at night. Closeup:<br />

      Anoles with long tail, Santa María, Colombia Small lizard species (likely anoles) with a very long tail ending in a white tip. The back has a dark broad stripe across the length of the body, with in the middle of that a yellow stripe. Photographed at night.  Anolis antonii,Boyacá,Colombia,Santa María,South America,World
