The southern ridged toad is an amphibian from the family of true toads. Adult individuals have noticeable bony ridges on the head, and the skin is covered with tubercles and secretes a poisonous substance for protection.
The southern ridged toad differs from related species by its clearly visible ridges on the head and the shape of its warts. It is beneficial to nature because it eats many harmful insects and serves as food for snakes, birds, and other animals.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
