Fowler's Toad  (Bufo woodhousii fowleri)

 
Fowler's Toad  (Bufo woodhousii fowleri)

Another species that occurs statewide is the Fowler's Toad, Bufo woodhousii fowleri.  This species closely resembles the American Toad in appearance, but breeds later in the summer, and its call is distinctive.  Physically, Fowler's Toads can be distinguished from the American Toad by their 3 or more warts on the large spots on their back, their unspotted chest and belly, and

their parotoid gland which touches the cranial ridge behind the eye.  The short (1-4 seconds), unmusical wailing call of the Fowler's toad is a familiar evening sound along the shore of Kentucky's lakes and rivers.
