Asian Toad (Duttaphrynus Melanostictus) - Animal India

An Asian Toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus), also known as the Asian Black-spined Toad or Asian Common Toad, is seen hiding behind a round clay pot at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 21, 2024. The toad's thick, dry skin, cranial ridges, and prominent parotid glands, which secrete a milky white toxin called bufotoxin, make it both well-camouflaged and protected in its environment. In a fun and defensive manner, the toad blends into the background, almost resembling a snail due to its position and coloring. Found throughout South and Southeast Asia, this species is known for its toxic defense mechanism and adaptability.(Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
