Spadefoot (Scaphiopus multiplicatus) |
||||||
|
DESCRIPTION:
2.5". Color is generally brownish, usually darker than the desert
spadefoot. Pupils are vertical (like other spadefoots but in contrast
to horizontal in other frogs/toads), and each hindfoot has a hardened,
dark-colored ridge ("spade") that aids in burrowing. NATURAL HISTORY: see desert spadefoot. |
