Question

What are burrowing toads?

Answer 1

As the name suggests, the Mexican burrowing toad is a burrowing animal (fossorial), and it spends a large part of its life underground. ... The Mexican burrowing toad eats insects, primarily ants and termites.

There is only one species in this family. The Mexican burrowing toad is found from Texas to Mexico. It is 1 to 2.75 inches in length. It has an round, flat body; short, stubby legs; and a small, pointed head. It is brown with a yellow to reddish-orange stripe down its back. It has horny "spades" on its hind feet that it uses for digging its burrow.

It is nocturnal and eats insects, especially termites. When it is frightened, it blows up its body, like a balloon. It spends most of its time in its underground burrow and usually only comes out after it rains.

Answer 2

The Mexican burrowing toad grows to 8 cm (3.1 in) in length, and usually has red spots on its bloated body with a red stripe along the center of its back. It has short legs, and a small, pointed head. Its feet have horny, shovel-like appendages which, along with the short, powerful legs, aid it in digging. Its eyes are relatively small, and the tympanum is not visible. Unique among the frogs, the Mexican burrowing toad's tongue is projected directly out the front of the mouth, instead of being flipped out, as in all other frogs.
