Woodhouse Toads in Oklahoma County near Air Depot and I-240 in a residential area.
I am glad to still find these toads. They used to be ubiquitous in this part of the country. But now I only find pockets of them, even when we are not in the midst of a drought or heatwave.
The Woodhouse's Toad, (Bufo woodhousii) is a medium-sized (4 inches / 10 centimetres) true toad, which is native to the United States and Mexico. There are two recognized subspecies. The epithet woodhousii is in honor of the American physician and naturalist Samuel Washington Woodhouse. B. woodhousii tends to hybridize with Bufo americanus in their overlapping ranges.
