Fowler's Toad
Anaxyrus fowleri
- Range
- Native to eastern North America, including much of the eastern and southeastern United States and parts of southeastern Canada.
- Habitat
- Uses wetlands for breeding and a variety of open, terrestrial habitats; it burrows during hot, dry periods and winter.
- Diet
- Adults eat insects and other small terrestrial invertebrates; tadpoles scrape algae and bacterial mats from rocks and plants.
Facts
- A calling male may accidentally clasp another male. The misidentified toad responds with a chirping “release call,” signaling that it is not a female.
