Amargosa Toad vs. Western Toad

The Amargosa Toad lives only in the Oasis Valley around Beatty, on the upper Amargosa River; the nearest Western Toad records are about 35 km downstream in the Amargosa Valley. A: Long and pointed in the Amargosa Toad; short and blunt in the Western Toad. B: Many small dark spots and specks in the Amargosa Toad; plain skin; the warts sit in dark blotches in the Western Toad. The Amargosa Toad also has very big webs on its hind feet. In the field the place says most: each endemic toad is the only toad in its valley.
