Cane Toad

Bufo marinus

Description:

Golden Brown skin. Feeling of thick muscles with a air bloated abdomen. Really gentle and none fearing creature. Seems to just hop around at night looking for some food. The cane toad, also known as the giant neotropical toad or marine toad, is a large, terrestrial true toad which is native to Central and South America, but has been introduced to various islands throughout Oceania and the Caribbean

Habitat:

Nocturnal, Warm Tropical Climate

Notes:

We were sitting on the front porch late one night when I notice this big wobbling/hopping shadow. I mediated when to to what is was and I instantly got all gitty when I realized it was a Toad or Frog. Yet to know. But the size made me smile till my mouth hurt.
