The Iranian earless toad is a small amphibian from the family of true toads. It lives in the mountains of Iran and is completely devoid of tympanic membranes.
The Iranian earless toad differs from other toads by the complete absence of tympanic membranes. It is important for nature because it eats harmful insects and serves as food for snakes and birds.
