Yes, back in 09. Except they changed Bufo into Anaxyrus and Incilius in NA. There actually might be a 3rd one too that I'm forgetting. But both Fowler's and American are now Anaxyrus. They just keep working on genetics for all the herps and splitting everything up and changing all the names, it's all hard to keep up with!

Thanks Ashley! Obviously my memmory needs refreshed! lol Did they change the Genus name from Bufo to Anaxyrus?

The paratoid glands only touching the cranial crests by a spur and the 1-2 warts per dark spot make this an American Toad
