today’s funky frog of the day is: bufo retiformis! commonly known as sonoran green toads, they are found in northern mexico and the southwestern united states. typical habitats are arid and semi-arid plains with grass, creosote bush, mesquite, and saguaro. they are nocturnal, and little is known about their behavior outside of the breeding season. they may live underground and only emerge during the wet conditions, and it is unclear whether or not they estivate. they breed from july to august, and the male’s call resembles “the buzzer on an electric alarm clock.” herpetologists assume these frogs feed on beetles, ants, moths, and winged termites, and they are expected to live for around 10 years.
