The answer to this week’s frog or toad is…. complicated but let’s go with toad. It is called the Short-limbed Frog, or Sikkim Spade Foot Frog (Scutiger sikimmensis) from the family Megophryidae. It is found in the Himalayas.
The species used to be part of the True Toad family – Bufonidae but it was moved to Megophryidae which isn’t really a toad family. It has features of a toad, bumpy, wart skin and apparently a paratoid gland?
