Great Basin Spadefoot vs. Woodhouse's Toad
Both are warty, toad-like and come out on wet nights. A: the spadefoot's pupil is a vertical slit; the toad's is horizontal. B: the spadefoot has a black, wedge-shaped spade on the inner edge of each hind foot for digging; Woodhouse's has none. C: Woodhouse's Toad has a large, long gland (parotoid) behind each eye and bony ridges on the head; the spadefoot has no parotoid and only a soft boss between the eyes. The spadefoot's skin is smoother and its call a hoarse 'wah'; Woodhouse's call is a nasal 'waaah'.
