The answer to this week’s frog or toad is…..FROG. It is an African Warty Frog (Acanthixalus spinosus) from the family Hyperoliidae, the African Tree Frogs.
This one could be hard to tell if it’s a frog or a toad with all those farts. The hands are big and seem to have toe pads made for climbing. This could cue you into the fact that it is a tree frog. There’s no parotoid gland behind the eye which is another key but you could confuse a wart for it.
I was taught that a true toad is a type of frog. I would agree from the photo and what you said that it’s not a true toad.
technically, all toads are frogs but we arent going that in depth since it is just a fun game.
