Diet
Rainforest toad is a carnivorous species primarily consuming small invertebrates. The diet is diverse, ranging from insects, spiders to small crustaceans. Its predatory nature influences its feeding routine, relying on active hunting rather than scavenging.
Appearance
Rainforest toad is a small toad, characterized by its round, robust body and rough, warty skin. Its coloration varies from brown to gray with distinctive blotches or spots. Adult males feature a large vocal sac. There are no significant differences in appearance due to age, gender, or subspecies.
Behavior
Rainforest toad is predominantly nocturnal, engaging in the majority of its activities under the cover of darkness. This species is solitary, interacting with others mostly during the breeding season. Characterized by an inert daytime behavior, it can easily blend with its surroundings, making it less noticeable to predators. Distinctively, rainforest toad's males emit a unique vocalization during the mating season, serving to establish territories and attract females.
