Diet
Muller's toad primarily indulges in a carnivorous diet, with a predilection for small arthropods, particularly ants and termites. Their specialized feeding behavior involves efficient exploitation of the invertebrate fauna within their habitat.
Appearance
Muller's toad is a small-sized toad with a slim, elongated body and smooth, glossy skin. This toad is distinguished by its dominant black coloration adorned with a yellowish-brown line that runs from its snout to its urostyle. Remarkably, it possesses flat disks on its fingers and toes, which enhance its skill at climbing. There are no notable physical differences between genders or ages within this species.
Behavior
Muller's toad is nocturnal, primarily active after rainfall when it consumes a diet comprising aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. A solitary creature, this amphibian uses skin toxins for predator deterrence. Uniquely, males establish and vocalize terrains, a rarity among its relatives.
