THE spadefoot toad has adapted to living in the desert areas by sleeping underground for 6 months to keep out of the immense heat outside. The spadefoot toad can also store water inside their body, so while they are underground, they do not need to drink any water at all. When it begins to rain outside the spadefoot toad leaves its hole to catch insects like beetles, grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets. THEY ARE FOUND IN Baja California, Mexico, southern Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and parts of Oklahoma.
They can roll away from a predator(but without control!).

"Waaa" is the call of the Western Spadefoot (Spea hammondii).Specifically, the voice of the Western Spadefoot is similar to the sound of a purring cat. It is repeated every 3-4 seconds. The call is quite carrying and from a distance is likened also to the sound of a handsaw. It may be heard in winter and early spring, after a rain event.
