Compare two species

Woodhouse's Toad vs. American Toad

Both are large, warty brown toads. Woodhouse's Toad has long parotoid glands that touch the cranial crests behind the eyes with no spur between them, a pale stripe down the middle of the back, and a pale, usually unspotted belly; its call is a short nasal bleat. The American Toad's parotoid is separate from the crest behind the eye or joined to it only by a short spur, its chest is spotted, its dark spots hold one or two big warts, and it calls with a long musical trill.
