Backyard, around bushes
This is not a Cane Toad. Cane Toads are native to Central and South America. They do however show up other places because they have been introduced to areas and are invasive breeders. They were introduced to some areas for pest control but have now become pests as they become large and are poisonous, therefore leaving them with no predators. I am quit certain that this is an American Toad as I see them often and I am not sure that there are Cane Toads in Indiana, although I could be mistaken.
