that would be my guess too. i catch toads that look like that and are that size all the time when im hiking

Yep, it's a Bufo. I catch thousands of them that size and smaller around my pond in the summer.

A Bufo? Never heard of it...Hey Seth, if you have them, does that mean I have them where I am?

Yeah it's most likely an American Toad (Bufo americanus), they're very common in our area of the country. If you ever go to a pond and see 100's of those little tiny black tadpoles, it's these guys. It could also be a Fowler's Toad (Bufo fowleri) but most likely it's the first choice.

 

[rmorse]

Oh ok! Yea, I have seen them before then!
