No, a golden toad is not a herbivore. Golden toads are carnivorous and primarily feed on small insects like ants, beetles, and termites.
The scientific name of the Golden Toad is Bufo Incilius periglenes. That means that it belongs to the genus Bufo, and the subgenus Incilius (A genus is the smallest group above species, and a subgenus is a division of a genus). Therefor, its closest living relative would be a member of the genus Bufo, and the subgenus Incilius. There are 32 surviving members of the subgenus Incilius, therefor any one of these could be the closest living relative of the Golden Toad.
The golden toad, native to the cloud forests of Costa Rica, played a significant role in its ecosystem as a bioindicator species, reflecting the health of its environment. Its presence helped maintain the balance of insect populations, as it primarily fed on small invertebrates. The toad's decline due to climate change and habitat loss highlighted the fragility of its ecosystem, serving as a warning for broader environmental issues. The loss of such species can disrupt food webs and indicate larger ecological shifts.
