Holdridge's toad
Holdridge's toad is a kind of small animal that lives in the forests of Latin America, especially in Costa Rica. It is brownish-gray in color and has a bumpy skin. Its eyes are big and have vertical pupils like a cat.
Holdridge's toad is a type of amphibian, which means that it lives both in water and on land. It needs to stay near water sources like streams, rivers, or ponds to lay its eggs, and for the tadpoles to develop into adult toads.
Holdridge's toad eats insects such as ants, beetles, and termites. It catches its prey using its sticky tongue, which it flicks quickly out of its mouth. It also uses camouflage to hide from predators, blending in with the ground or the leaves and trees around it.
Unfortunately, Holdridge's toad is now facing many threats. Habitat loss, pollution, and climate change have led to a decline in its population. As a result, scientists are studying these toads to learn more about their behaviors and to help protect them from extinction.
