  1. spadefoot toad

    A spadefoot toad is a type of amphibian from the family Scaphiopodidae, common in North America. They are named for the unique, spade-like projections on their hind feet which they use for burrowing into loose soil. These nocturnal creatures typically have a stout body and short limbs, and their eyes have vertical pupils. Their lifestyle is often secretive causing them to be rarely seen, as they spend much of their time underground. Spadefoot toads are known for their rapid development cycle, which is an adaptation to their often harsh habitats.
