Sclerophrys pantherina
The Western Leopard Toad is a large toad with dark spots on its back. It lives in South Africa and spends most of its time on land, but lays eggs in water.
The Western Leopard Toad is distinguished by its large size and leopard-patterned spots. It is beneficial for nature because it eats many harmful insects and serves as food for other animals.
