Wyoming Toad vs. Western Toad

Both are dark toads of wet meadows. A: the Wyoming Toad's bony ridges join into a raised boss between the eyes, as in its relative the Canadian Toad; the Western Toad has no ridges or only weak ones. B: the Western Toad is larger, with a crisp pale stripe down the back; the Wyoming Toad is small (about 2 inches) with small dark blotches and a faint stripe or none. C: both have dark-spotted bellies. The Wyoming Toad lives only in the Laramie Basin; the Western Toad in the western mountains. The Wyoming Toad is endangered: do not handle it.
