The only “true toad” found locally, B. melanostictus has the typical characteristics of having warty skin and a large, discrete parotoid gland behind each eye and above the distinctive tympanum. It has a small head with medium size limbs. The hind limbs have fully-webbed toes. The back of B. melanostictus is decorated by many round and black-tipped glands which serve the same functions as the parotoid gland, to exude a sticky toxin that can be lethal to small predators (e.g., snakes, dogs, cats). B. melanostictus is medium to large in size and can grow to over 100mm in size. |
