The places they live are in Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leon, Sudan, and Uganda. This kind of toad maybe lives in Burundi, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Gambia, Mauritania, Tanzania, and Togo. They do well in terrestrial and freshwater. Because they breed by rivers and stays away from the main current. The amietophrynus are becoming extinct.

 

Toads change because toads and frogs are competing with each other and they are different. They do have the same class and order. Toads do grow like frogs they are a tadpole and form into a toad. The animal's adaptations are dry savanna, moist savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, dry lowland grassland, wet or flooded lowland grassland, high altitude grassland, lakes, rural gardens, and urban areas. The color of this toad is brown. They have a leathery skin for better water retention. The size of the male is about 62-91 mm and the female is 70-130 mm long. Snakes, lizards, bird, hedgehogs, sharped tooth fish, shrew, diving birds, and their own kind eats toads.

 

They compete for food because toads are becoming extinct and they have to eat or they will die. The animals they compete for food are a small animal that eats bugs and frogs eats bugs as well. They will know when predators are coming because they can feel when they are coming. If they are an egg they will hatch early and escape from that predators. If they are swallowed by a predator they will be poison by there skin. I learned that toads are becoming extinct. Female toads are bigger than male toads.

 

There is a lot of information about this toad. I can’t believe that toads could defend themselves by their skin. Even though they are not fast, their skin could kill predators.
