American Toad (Bufo americanus)

American Toad is a very common large toad in the Piedmont and Mountain regions of North Carolina. Very similar to Fowler's Toad, but the dark patches on Fowler's encircle several spots instead of just one or two. Southern Toad replaces American Toad in the Coastal Plain.
