The long trill of American Toads (Anaxyrus americanus) is a common sound on March nights. This native toad can be found across the eastern US in woodlands, grassy fields, and roadsides. During late winter and spring, they mate in shallow, fish-free pools of water. The females then lay thousands of eggs in a pair of long, spiraling threads. If you’re old enough to know what a telephone cord looks like, the egg masses sort of look like that. 🤣 | Southern Piedmont Natural History

Hey everyone! This is Ranger Eric. East Texas is home to one of the most bizarre and unique frogs in perhaps the entirety of the eastern United States, the Eastern Narrow-mouthed Toad. Here is a video I made giving y'all an up close look of one that I found recently as well as some information on their life history. I hope y'all enjoy and learn something new from it! | Lake Livingston State Park - Texas Parks and Wildlife
