American toad

The American toad is a warty, hoppy amphibian that makes its home across eastern North America. It comes in three slightly different forms, including a smaller version and a rare northern type. These toads were recently moved to a new scientific genus, leaving their old Bufo classification behind.

• Three subspecies exist: eastern American, dwarf American, and Hudson Bay toads.
• Its scientific name changed from Bufo to Anaxyrus.
• Found throughout eastern Canada and the United States.
