Commonly toads fear people and snakes. Snakes and mice are predators of toads. Mice do not eat toads..
The golden toad, primarily found in the cloud forests of Costa Rica, has few known predators due to its specific habitat and the high elevation where it resides. However, potential predators include snakes, birds, and small mammals that inhabit the same ecosystems. The toad's bright coloration may serve as a warning to some predators about its toxicity, which can deter them from consuming it. Overall, while it faces some predation, its unique adaptations help reduce these threats.

While not a predator, the toad is a major threat to the spotted tailed quoll. The toad is poisonous to this marsupial, which cannot distinguish it as a danger. When quolls have been moved away from toad-inhabited areas, their numbers have increased significantly.
Not if you don't put them together. Amphibians poison the water for fish.
The toad you're referring to is likely the Surinam toad (Pipa pipa). Unlike most amphibians, which lay eggs in water, the Surinam toad has a unique reproductive strategy where the female carries fertilized eggs embedded in her back skin until the tadpoles emerge. This adaptation allows her to protect the developing young from aquatic predators.
The cane toad was introduced to Australia in 1935 to control agricultural pests, but it became an invasive species that caused significant ecological harm. Lacking natural predators, the toad's population exploded, leading to declines in native wildlife as it outcompeted native species for resources and poisoned predators with its toxic glands. Its rapid spread disrupted ecosystems, highlighting the risks associated with introducing non-native species for pest control.
yes, firebelly toads swim in water and they also like land but they are mostly in the water
Cane frog or cane toad also known as the Giant Neotropical Toad or Marine Toad, is a large, terrestrial true toad native to Central and South America. Cane toads are a serious conservation issue in Australia. As their populations increase, they threaten the existence of many natural animals. Cane toads are tough and adaptable, as well as being poisonous throughout their life cycle, and have few predators in Australia.
Toad skin typically feels bumpy and dry due to its textured surface, which is covered in small wart-like bumps. This unique texture helps toads with moisture retention and protection from predators. The skin may also feel slightly sticky or slimy if the toad is secreting mucus for hydration or defense. Overall, handling a toad can be an interesting sensory experience due to its distinctive feel.
Yes - that's perfectly normal behaviour.
