I an sure they are smart too :-)

Dear Francis:
My suggested ID is temptative actually, because I did not know which toad was this, I presupposed that it may be the philippine species. But It may as well be the species that you mention below. If you know better the difference and the ID I have placed is incorrect please let me know. I am no expert, just a nature lover trying to classify her spottings :-)
Intimidating. Q: What are the most pronounced characteristics of these toad to differentiate from the widely spread population of Bufo marinus? Thanks.
Nice toad :)
