Common Toad
Warty wanderer, springtime pond pilgrim
Warty wanderer, springtime pond pilgrim
The long-snouted fisher of big rivers
The reed-bed runner on lily pads
Australia's wild voice of the outback
Born in water, gone in a day
Flash the belly, live to tell it.
Built for burrows, made for deserts
Long tail, big brains, bold foraging
Dig deep. Emerge with the rain.
Bask. Bolt. Dive.
Strut, gobble, and soar-wild-born.
Pouches, power-hops, and wild places
Forceps, night-life, and fierce mothering
Spring's frogspawn maker
Masters of the lek and the snow
Not a pig-America's javelina
Digging by night, healing soils by day
Spotted shell, savanna soul.
Big toad. Bigger toxins.
Dad's vocal sac, nature's nursery
Blinking lizard, not a snake
Stripes of the subcontinent
Ghost of the Southeast Asian forests
Malayan Tiger: last shadow of the forest
