Appearance
"Bufo bankorensis" is a large toad that can reach 15 cm, even 20 cm in snout–vent length. Females are larger than males. The snout is short. Dorsolateral ridge is absent. The tympanum is not prominent. The parotoid glands are kidney-shaped. Skin is rough and covered with pointed tubercles of various size. Coloration is light brown color with orange, yellow, or black markings.Habitat
"Bufo bankorensis" are found in a range of habitats at elevations up to 3,000 m : broadleaf forests, cultivated fields, mixed forests, and orchards. They can be seen foraging on insects under street lights during rainy nights. Breeding can take place in both streams and pools. One study found that a temperate population could breed throughout the year, while a subtropical population only bred during the cooler part of year, from September to March.While "Bufo bankorensis" is a very common species, habitat loss remains a threat to it. It is also collected for food and traditional medicine.
