Arroyo Toads

by Olivia Martin-Spisak

Arroyo Toads are a endangered toad that lives only in southen California.They are a greenish-grey or salmon with light colored stripe across there head and eye lids. The Arroyo Toad is Endangered because of habitat destruction and Bull Frogs who are not native here and are killing a lot of our small species. Arroyo toads (like most toads) eat insects. There life cycle is simple: there eggs take 4-6 days to hatch, they are tadpoles for 65-85 days, they live for about 5 years. Arroyo Toads are solitary animals.You can help by making sure when you go camping the camp ground is not a Toad habitat. And donating to a Toad website help a lot too.
