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

This American Toad was brought to the Center after being found with a left forelimb injury which required partial amputation. As this video shows, missing a foot hasn't slowed this patient down in the slightest! Many species adapt quite well to amputation and we are expecting a full recovery from this toad! #AmericanToad #DinnerTime #WildlifeRehabilitation | Blue Ridge Wildlife Center
