Cross Toad on a mossy boulder

It's not angry, it's a "cross toad" because of the pattern on its back. It was perched on a very large boulder overlooking a rapid stream.

It seems to have a small head compared to its body. Does "hourglass" toad have anything to do with that? Posted 8 years ago

  The proportions are definitely odd for a toad -- the head is small and the legs and feet are long. I think "hourglass" is just another term to describe the shape of the pattern on the back, that you can't really see in this side view. Posted 8 years ago
