TruemorsI was on a late night nature hike in search of the allusive paludosa and the female egg laying habbit when I kept coming across these little buggers. Bufos, Bufos, everywhere and not a frog in sight!

This is the giant cane toad. This little fellow was captured at night while searching for freshwater snails in mimai, Florida. They are primarily nocternal and are active during the spring rainy seasons. When threatened they ooze toxic slime from their skin which can be fatal if ingested in large enough quantities.
