what i leaned about toads on the internet .....

https://birdwatchinghq.com/toads-in-louisiana/

here is one i missed on "wild kingdom" ...

The male toad will occasionally try to mate with another male, only realizing his mistake when he hears the other male toad’s warning chirp.

i have seen them mate. it is quite a party, but seriously , bufo, have you ever heard of adam and steve?

i've been calling these common toads "bufo" but they seem to have been reclassified Anaxyrus americanus by somebody who probably got close enough to catch warts.

political parallel with "gulf of america" style trumpist rebranding? memes from 2016 were all about a froggified trump. "many people are saying it might be a trumpified toad. "

there is a minty python scene. they are talking about birds. swallows?
