Rangers toad

Amietophrynus rangeri

The ranger's toad or ''raucous toad'' is a species of Southern African toad
Raucous Toad This little fellow hung around with me for a little while whilst searching for fungi. Now I know where all the noise comes from!
From Wiki: Although its vocalisations vary, the most characteristic call is a loud, incessant duck-like quacking, mainly at night. It quacks almost entirely in the breeding season, generally in groups of males near the water's edge. Amietophrynus rangeri,Fall,Geotagged,Rangers toad,South Africa,amphibians,south africa,toads

Appearance

Its maximal size, snout-to-vent, is about 115 mm. It is a characteristically robust medium-large-sized toad, dorsal and lateral skin liberally sprinkled with wart-like protuberances. Colour brown-to-greyish with more-or-less paired dark-brown patches flanking the medial dorsal line. The dark patches on the head meet in a brown bar on top of the head above the eyes. The anterior dorsal skin of the head lacks dark brown patches. Like most typical toads, it has a large parotoid gland on the neck behind each eye. If injured it will exude whitish spots of venom on the parotoid glands; this can be hazardous to domestic dogs if they bite a toad. The underside is whitish.
