Todays tadpiole:

The Mexican spade foot toad tadpole

These unnerving bastardes have different forms for different diets. Which can and will include their siblings..

and shrimp…

and apparently these dudes (I haven’t researched a lot) can tell what they should specialize in eating while in the egg depending of the water conditions..

They are also goofy looking lol

A Couch's spadefoot toad, taken 10/8/22. They come out to reproduce after soaking rains here in the desert, spending the rest of their time just burrowed underground. Despite the name, they are actually burrowing frogs and not true toads.

Western Spadefoot (Spea hammondii)

If it (kinda) looks like a peanut, is the size of a peanut, and smells like a peanut, it must be… a western spadefoot. Western spadefoots really are about peanut-sized, about 1.5 - 2.5 inches long. Plus, they do actually smell like a peanut too. At least to some people. They secrete an irritant from their skin to deter predators that, by some accounts, smells like peanuts. While it may smell tasty, it’s not a good idea to put this peanut-like frog near (or in!) your mouth. To grow peanuts, growers start with raw, uncooked peanuts and bury them in the soil. Western spadefoots bury themselves in the soil too. They use the hardened spade-like appendages on their hind feet to dig themselves into the ground. They stay there for most of the year and emerge for only short times, usually around late fall and into the early spring, and it’s highly dependent on when it rains. These ‘lil peanuts inhabit parts of central and southern California. Photo: © Tony Iwane, CC-BY-NC

Two very dark specimens of Mexican spadefoot toads [Spea multiplicata] found in Milpa Alta, Mexico. These fossorial toads subsist mainly off small prey, such as ants and termites. However, they have also been observed eating scorpions and centipedes. Image source here.

First specimen i’ve “prepared” (by that i mean preparing a new solution since this guys been in the same sauce since the 80s) for amphibian collection. i also wrote the new label

#My campus does not have any local spadefoot toads so ours is from texas #which is funny since i used to live in texas and saw them everywhere #felt like a witch stirring up a filthy preservative stew #animal death #<- for blacklist
